Folks I wonder if anyone has this individual in their past. I have him in the 1871,1881,1891 and 1901 census. I have his birth in 1840. However I cannot find either of his marriages or his death in the GRO. In the 1881, 1891 and 1901 census he is living at 307 Gleadless Road. His second "wife" was Sarah Ann Burniston, my ggrandmother. The only thing I know about his first "wife" is that her name was Martha and she died in 1873. Thanks in advance. -- Ernest Burniston Raleigh, North Carolina

Hello Ernest, Narrowing down the possible date of death... In White's 1911 Directory William B WARD, manager, is listed at 307 Gleadless Road. In White's 1919/20 Directory the householder is Henry WARD (j) cutler. (j=journeyman). Of course he may still be living in 1911, in the same household with Henry as head, or elsewhere. I noted a much earlier burial of a Mary WARD of 307 Gleadless Road, at Christ Church Heeley (7 Apr 1878 aged 40). I wonder if William B may have been buried there. (the index only goes up to 1906).
