For Leslie, et al, You can find much of the info you're researching at the following WWW address: http://bc1.com/USERS/LCHAMBER/WARD.HTM I believe that you'll find that the parents of Andrew Warde, Sr. who married Hester (Esther) Sherman were not Richard Warde and Anne Guiville, but more likely StephenWard and Joyce Trafford. But all data with such distant beginnings is suspect to many Ward family researchers. You may note the corrections/additions within the < data > arrows in your message below.
