I'd like to start by looking for a Charles WARD who could have been the father of Mahlon James WARD born 1832 in Findlay, OH. who married in 1861 Fanny E. ROBERTS of Wyandot Co, OH. I don't have the names of Mahlon James WARD's parents but they might have married in Ohio where his mother and he were born. There was a Charles WARD & wife both under 50 and a male age 5 to 10 on the 1840 Findlay, Hancock, OH census. who I think could be Mahlon J. WARD's parents. I can't connect him to any other Hancock Co, OH WARDS. There was a Willis WARD on the 1830 Findlay twp, census. Is there an expert who can advise me about searching ships passengers? Thanks so much, Mary Kay Ward in Richmond, VA
