It is possible that Louisa Ward died in the last quarter of 1841 - registered at West Ham, 12 170. She does not appear with her family on the 1851 census and there does not seem to be a marriage registered for her. GF

In 1861, William Ward aged 30 and single, from Wanstead, is listed as a Fly Driver, lodging in Hackney, Middlesex. (RG9/158/115/12). I am not sure what happened to him afterwards. I have not been able to locate his sister, Emma Ward, either after the 1851 census, when she is with her parents.
