Hullo listers. I am new to the list. Fresh for the New Year! I am the gt grandson of a Henry Ward, Corporal (Bombadier!) 1/6 Brigade Royal Artillery, Aden who married Catherine Jcakson nee Byrne a widow in Aden in 1874. Henry's father was given as William Ward, occupation not mentioned. Catherine's father was given as William Byrne, occupation not mentioned. They had at least two children, one of which was my grandmother Catherine also who as a widow McKenna married my grandfather Daniel Callaghan and another may have been Lilly. Family tradition has it that both families were from Ireland. I have traced a William Ward, Gunner in 1 Company 1 Battalion EIC Artillery from Tipperay, Co. Tipperary, who went out to India on the Thos. Coutts in 1830 and died in Bagdad in 1840. Could anybody please tell me whether he may have been my William Ward?. If affirmative do you know who his family or forbears were please? Alfred Gabb
