1871 Census Illegible ???

Finding Edmund on earlier Censuses might help - he is certainly on the 1841 Census at Market Rasen

Sorry I've no access to that Census

And here are MArgaret and Elizabeth, and some of Edmunds other nieces and nephews,  in 1851

Dear Street MArket Rason
William Ward 37? widower joiner
MArgaret 12 dtr housekeeper
Elizabeth 10
Ann 8
John 6   all bn Market Rasen

Logic would say William and Edmund are brothers.

Edmund Ward 54 joiner bn East Torrington
Harriet 44 wife bn Lincoln

This ties in with the 1851 George Street census. Unfortuately there are no images for this time period available on lincstothepast.com  .

22 April 1846 at St Peter at Arches (Lincoln) (that's what it says in my index, no idea which is right)
Edmund WARD (son of George) to Harriet Mary HUNT (dau of James)

Also at St Hugh's RC church same day

Thanks everyone for the help and sorry it took me a while, can anyone confirm William Ward parents, he was born 1813/14 Market Rasen, I think some time ago I was given George as his father but now doubting this.
Thanks again

There's a Roman Catholic Baptism at Market Rasen for William Ward 4 May 1813 , parents George Ward and Margaret Sallet ;

There are also baptisms for siblings George 1803 and Elizabeth 1807. I can't find anything for Edmund but it's possible these Non-Conformist records are not complete.

There are a couple of entries in the Lincolnshire Parish Apprentice Index :

James Hunt 1828 , son of Mary , widow
Richard Knight Hunt 1827 , son of Mary , widow

both apprenticed to George & Edmund Ward , Cabinetmakers, Builders & Joiners , of Market Rasen.
