william ward, bushey.

Hi

I am researching my dad`s side of the family at the moment, i recently found the grave of his grandfather William Ward and his wife Jessie, he passed away sept 21st 1953 aged 79 and his wife, June 4th 1955 aged 66. I have tried finding them in the 1911 census as i know that they were married in 1910 but they are not to be found. My dad`s father, Arthur William Ward was born around 1908 , so i assume jessie was his step mother. Again i am having trouble confirming where he was born. Is there any rootschatters doing the same line or have any information about them. i would like to find out what his occupation was and where they lived. I look forward to hopefully some new leads.

Thank you

jackie

Where was this 1910 marriage?

Hi pauline

This marriage was in Watford,  her maiden name was Williamson and they did live in Rosenbury road, Bushey Heath.  It would be nice if there is a relative out there who is researching the same people and may have pictures of them.

Thank you for your quick reply

Hi Jackie

Have you got any written documentation for any of your family?

Hi I believe that the marriage of a Jessie Williamson with a William J Ward on the same page in Sept 1910 Watford, was not the pairing that married, I think she married the Frederick H Chapman?

I think she is the Jessie Williamson b c 1887 Rickmansworth with parents Alfred George and Eliza Ann

These Ward births in Watford with mothers maiden name Williamson:-

Daniel 1915
Arthur 1917
Mabel 1920

Totally agree with you.

That's why I ask what actual docts are in existence/ been obtained.

I can only find Martha Stallybrass-Ward's family fitting what has been described [ish].

Why assume "step" . . . . .  ?

Here's Martha's death - can only suggest some sort of marital breakdown

Martha S Ward
Born c 1880
death Apr-May-Jun 1957, aged 77
Hitchin Volume 4b, page 92

Hi Everybody,

I can confirm that the grave i found in St.james grave yard for William and Jessie Ward are my great grand parents. I also found those Ward births with the mother`s maiden name Williamson. The  Chapman lady also gave birth to two children and her maiden name was Jessie Williamson. I also found Martha stally brass ward with the Arthur William Ward born 1909 and i thought that could be my grandfather, but there are the deaths of her  and a William Ward in Hitchin.

I did check in kelly Street directory and that gave William and Jessie Ward. My uncle seems to think that his grandfather had married twice. I know that i need to get some proof but i dont want to spend a fortune on purchasing the wrong certificates.

Has anyone else got any further suggestions, i did try looking at the Gertrude lowe lady but it doesnt seem to fit.

thanks

Jackie
