Dear listers, If anyone is researching the WARD family from Wem or Whixall etc I would love to hear from you. >From the 1851 census in I have William WARD born c1795 Hopebondler Salop, wife Jane (maiden name possibly HINTON) born c1799 Wem, son David born c1840 Wem, daughter Dinah born c1843 Wem, daughter Ann born c1845 Wem. On the 1861 census when they are in Whixall the birthplaces are a little different. William by then is a widower born c1801 Churchstreton and daughter Ann is with him showing her birthplace as Newtown. Dinah is a servant in Castle Church and her birthplace is shown as Newport. I also have them in 1841 where two other children, George and Charles are shown. Dinah married William KEAY c1871 and had a daughter Sarah J. Keay c1879 Prees. Apart from Dinah I have no idea what happened to the other children apart from a possible marriage for Ann to Richard BRAYNE. I look forward to hearing from someone with a connection.
