It might be easier to post the name of the peson who lived at the addresses and then look them up in the 1840 census and get the ward number that way. Hi, Wondering if anyone can tell me the Ward #'s for the following addresses in 1840: 547 Fourth, 42 Forsyth. Also, the distance in city blocks (or miles) between the two. TIA for your help.
