Thomas MILWARD was born 29 Oct 1814 in Nottingham. He married on 6 Jul 1844 in St Helier, Jersey, Anna Maria ROWAND.
Thomas and Anna Maria had four children, all born in Guernsey : Anna Maria MILWARD born 10 May 1845, Thomas Henry MILWARD born 21 Apr 1846, Lucy Janet MILWARD born 21 Jul 1847 and Frank Charles MILWARD born 28 Jun 1848.
Anna Maria ROWAND wife of Thomas MILWARD died 27 Feb 1849 [place unknown] and was buried 3 Mar 1849 in St Helier.
I can find three of the children in the 1851 census – Anna Maria aged 5 is a scholar in St Peter Port, Guernsey; Frank Charles [Francis] aged 2 is a lodger also in St Peter Port, and Lucy Janet aged 3 is with her grandmother in Nottingham.
I cannot find Thomas MILWARD born 1814 or his son Thomas Henry MILWARD born 1846 in the 1851 census (or any subsequent censuses). I wonder if some kind soul would be able to check deaths in Guernsey between Apr 1846 and Mar 1851 for any trace of them.
