Hi Jenny , Having a bit of a problem getting on Find My Past today as it busy but of the three George Wards that appear on the 1891 Census , the most likely appears to be the one living with a number of children at :  Town Street, Ollerton . Parents : Jonathan Ward born 1854 (Ollerton) Gamekeeper                  Elizabeth Ward born 1851 There is a marriage for a Jonathan Ward to an Elizabeth Sprowell , Bingham district , Sep 1879 . Any of this sound likely ?  ________________________________ From: "Jenny, Andy and Megan" <spruytj@paradise.net.nz> To: nottsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, September 29, 2013 9:09 AM Subject: [NTT] George Ward Born Nottingham 27 December 1881 Hi, I have for years been searching with little success for the ancestors of my George Ward George Ward was born Nottingham 27 December  1881. Mother: Elizabeth Ward (nee unknown) Father: John Ward I have struggled to trace him on outward bound ship records due to the large numbers of WARD passengers who made the journey to South Africa between 1895 to 1913. George was in South Africa by 1914 when a son was born to him and his wife Daisy JOSE in Mayfair, Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa. This son was to be the first of 9 children born before his death in 1930 when his youngest son was only 6 weeks old. I am hoping that there are other WARD researches who may have a suitable branch to fit George into.
