This is info on our JAMES WARD from Ireland ....his son Thomas WARD settled in Ohio 1841 Census Form in the handwriting of great-great gradfather James WARD. We are very fortunate to have this document since the entire Irish Census for 1841 was destroyed in a fire during the Civil War in 1922. The handwritten portionof the form ia almost illegible, but most of the information is repeated on of a page from the counnty's records. Together, these two documents show that in 1841 James WARD and his wife, Mary, lived in County Cavan, Parish of Killeshandra, townland of Killtrasna. The family consisted of the following members: James WARD, age 64, farmer Mary WARD, age 46, housekeeper John WARD, age 13, laborer Mary WARD, age 10 Thomas WARD, age 5 Philip WARD, age 2 Margaret WARD age 12, died that year from smallpox >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As per a copy of a page from a book of valuation of tenements for tax purposes, known as Griffiths's Evaluation of 1856-1857, for the parish of Killeshandra. Under the heading for Killtrasna. It lists Mary WARD as head of family, age 56, widow, occupation shopkeeper, daughter Mary Anne WARD, age 27, occupation shopkeeper; and son John (?) WARD, age 26, occupation, farmer. This is MAry WARDS obviously would not be either of the MAry WARD's ;isted in the1841 census, nut she might be the widow either of John WARD or Philip WARD who are listed in that earlier census
