Eileen M Ward
« on: Thursday 12 March 15 14:35 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for the birth (or any information at all) regarding Eileen Ward (I believe her middle name may have been Margaret)...I have a few clues that don't seem to be getting me anywhere!  She was born in approximately 1900 in Ireland - she had a grandmother lliving in Waterford but not sure if Eileen was born there.  She obviously left Ireland as in 1933 she married Boyce William Morton at West Derby Registry Office.  I also believe she had a brother Frederick/Freddy and a sister Kathleen who were also living in Liverpool (not sure of other siblings) and I do know she was Roman Catholic.  She died in 1968 in the Birkenhead area.  As I say, a few clues and I have exhausted every avenue I can think of, so any help at all would be gratefully appreciated.

Have you found her in any census records? 1901, 1911?

Unfortunately not.  I looked at all the Census information from Ireland and found a few possibles but could find nothing concrete - the names of the siblings being one definite bit of information I have and I could find neither of them on the same census as the possibles.

I guess I will have to get the marriage certificate. I was hoping to get some firm information before having to go down that route as previous certificates I have ordered have failed to provide the information I needed.  The whole story surrounding her is quite bizarre to be honest and I would be surprised if much information will be given on the cert.  Thanks anyway

A possible link. The Frederick Ward that married Johanna Scully, Johanna's mother was Ellen Farrell.  An Ellen Farrell married an Edward Scully in Dublin South in 1872. There is an Ellen Scully living in Co Waterford in 1901. http://www.rootschat.com/links/01exn/
