Parents CHARLES and GERTRUDE WARD, siblings GEORGE MAURICE, DOROTHY,NELLIE and VIOLET MAY.
Charles` occupation in Yorkshire was as a groom at the home of the Mangin family from Sharow. The family may have moved to Wales with their employers. Charles later became a Chauffeur.
Looking for anyone who is related to Charles Ward married Gertrude Charlotte Blanchard June 1910. Three children George,Dorothy and Nellie born between 1910-1915. Fourth child, illegitimate, born to Gertrude 1917.Charles was employed as a groom at The Holt,Sharrow, Ripon and also served in the army in Palestine.

********
BERTRAM was enrolled to vote in Victoria prior to 1972, living with other
BERTRAM's at 33 Power Avenue, Carnegie North. It appears that his father or brother was a printer. Electoral rolls do not show relationships between those living at the same address.
