Hello Norfolk Listers, Could someone please do a look up for me for Henry Ward-and his wife Alice living perhaps at Wisbech about 1880. They had 4 children-Ernest (b.1881), Herbert (b.1883), Alice (b. 1884) and Florence (b. 1885) I have no proof myself that these birth dates of the children are accurate. This is the best information I have seen for years in trying to locate Henry WARD, b. 1856 to Rebecca Bunting and William Neep who I do not believe were ever married. Rebecca married George WARD in 1861. They resided at Roman Bank, Terrington St Clement for at least the 1871 census. Would welcome any help with this. I have just visited Norfolk but did not have any details of Henry's life after 1871. Regards Di -- Dianne Feldtmann Dookie, Australia Researching WARD, BUNTING -Norfolk FORD, ALLMAN -Cheshire WARD, Lincolnshire JAMES, Bristol WYNN(E), Staffordshire

Hi, starting with the known facts , Ernest`s birth registration is in the Wisbech district ,in July 1881 . There is a further birth of an Ernest Ward in the Wisbech dist in Jan 1882 and a death in April 1882 . There is a Florence Ward birth registered in Apl 1883 and a death in the same month and year both in Wisbech . Henry Ward married Alice Amelia Wright in Yarmouth in the Dec 1/4 of 1878 , vol 4 b p 52 . The 1901 census for West End, Caister next Yarmouth has Henry Ward , m , 45, horseman on farm , b Acle , wife Alice, 46, b Filby , son Ernest , 19, labourer on farm , b Gt Yarmouth , Herbert, 17, labourer on farm , b Gt Yarmouth , Florence, 16, housemaid, b Gt Yarmouth . In the 1881 census for Trmouth , South Denes Rd , Henry Ward, head, marr, 26, general carter , b Acle , Alice Amelia Ward, wife , 27 , b Filby , and Ethel A Ward, dau , unm, 1 , b Yarmouth . In the 1891 census they are living in Toft Monks, Hery Ward, m , 38, horseman , crossed out , agricultural labourer, b Acle , Alice A , wife , 37 b Filby , Ethel E A Ward, 8, b Yarmouth , Herbert E , son , 7, b Yarmouth , Florence A , dau , 6, b Yarmouth . In the 1871 , Henry Ward is a live in servt , unm, 16, farm serv, b Acle , in the household of William Case , farmer at Southwood , and three households away is a Maria Ward, head, widow, 74, pauper , b Bradstone . This Henry Ward was indexed as Henn Ward, b abt 1855 , Elele , Norfolk . In the 1861 census for Acle Henry Ward, head, marr, 29, ag lab , b Strumpshaw, wife Elizabeth , aged 27, b Lingwood , Henry Ward, son , 5, b Tunstall , William Ward, 2 , b Acle . There is a family tree on Ancestry which confirms these linked census details , and the first Henry is b 1832 Strumpshaw , parents Richard and Maria Ward, and wife Elizabeth Wright . Therefore the Maria Ward widow in the 1871 census living near to Henry would be his grandmother widow of Richard Wood . And whilst Wright is not an uncommon name it is interesting to think that Henry married Alice Amelia Wright and had an Elizabeth Wright for his mother . Ward is a very populous surname and the coincidentally named Wisbech family may not be any relation perhaps . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dianne Feldtmann" <difeldt@mcmedia.com.au> To: <norfolk@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2011 12:13 AM Subject: Re: [NFK] WALPOLES OF NORFOLK > Hello Norfolk Listers, > Could someone please do a look up for me for Henry Ward-and his wife Alice > living perhaps at Wisbech about 1880.
