Hi my maternal grandmother was a Ward. Kathleen Ward may have been born 1905 - states she's 23 on marriage certificate Wexford 1931 to Charles Power traveller ? Not sure but later says he's a tinsmith, birth of his daughter Kathleen dealer. Later he's a known horse dealer.
All takes place in Southern Ireland.
Been told Wards were big traveller family in S. Ireland- suggestions that Wards associated with Mount Bellion, Taylor or Tuam.
If anyone is part of any of these family groups and could help, l would appreciate the imput. Kind thoughts Kat

Hi Aghadowey
I entered new detail about families that maybe connected in the vein hope that someone may be able to help further my enquiries. I thought as my grandmother was of Traveller stock l may become lucky.
As your probably aware Travellers don't put much store with paper which makes it difficult to research.
If l have breached any duplication please accept my apologies and do feel free to delete my post.
