Victor Wallace Ward

[cromwell]

Victor Wallace Ward married Amelia Mary Byrne who was born in 1898
Victor died 1960 Amelia died 1900's ?
Ronald Kelly Ward was Victors brother as I have letters from them about the there father property ....to each other
Victor was an old soldier and devoted his life to the army and married after the Great war in 1920 and stayed in Birmingham

A further clue I have is he sent some photographs home from Shewbo  India
To a Mrs Ward 15 Devonshire Rd Blackpool Lancashire ...in 1909

What is your opinion on what we have found for you?

[cromwell]

Evie, After sorting through another pile of letters I came across one dated 21st Nov 1928 from Ronald Kelly Ward to Victor and he says Mabel and Lauren send their kind regards so it looks like you have come up trumps
So thank you All .......and I am amazed at the speed you work
But if you can come up with anymore info I would be chuffed (that's if there is any more) ...Did Ronald and Lauren have children

Another correction
 Victor Wallace Ward died 18th Dec 1960 at 16 Harley Road Blackpool

The only two children that I could see for Ronald and Laura were Mabel 1906 and Victor 1904.

Fiddling with the 1911 census index it seems that Ronald's parents are staying with them and the only others were Mabel and Victor. However if you have full access to this census you would be able to see if they had any children who may have died before the census was taken.

Mabel Given Joline Ward died June 4th 1888 at 43 Hartley St
The letter sent by Ronald gave his address as 6 Glenwood St Blackpool
and on re reading the newspaper cutting Mabel and Harry after the wedding will take up residence at 4 Glenwood Street so I am thinking now that Mabel was the daughter of Ronald and the newspaper has made mistakes as it give her mother and fathers address as 6 Glenwood St and the person the was Victor was Mabels brother not her Fathers Brother Victor Wallace Ward.........
So Evie with your help I have solved one riddle
So Thank You Again

[cromwell]

So all in all he had no brothers or sister other that Ronald Kelly

[Evie]

Not sure if you have this but it looks like Ronald K Ward died 1849 aged 69 Blackpool 10b 583. Cannot pin Laura down though as I cannot see a death in Blackpool district

Just seen your post where did you get the name Mabel Given Joline Ward from  - are you sure it is not a mistranscription of Mabel Gwendoline? yes I agree the Mabel that married in 1929 was the daughter of Ronald and the best man was her brother Victor Wallace who was born 1904 and not her uncle Victor wallace born 1881.
