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. Regards, Jenny

Hi Jenny With a precise birth date I would order a birth certificate from the GRO online *with no* GRO index reference, this when selected will enable checking points to be entered, ie parents names and the date of birth If they find a match you get the certificate, which should have his father and mothers names recorded, including her maiden name If no match is found you get a full refund Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 29/09/2013 09:09, Jenny, Andy and Megan wrote: > 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. > > Regards, > > Jenny

May I ask if the birth cert gives exactly here born as opposed to just the place ie instead of just 'Manchester" it would give born at --------- Manchester . Yes I know this is a Notts site but it all clicks in to my Notts research.
