My 5x great grandfather was Thomas Ward born 1755, he was the Parish Clerk at St Michael Stanton by Bridge Derbyshire. He married Elizabeth Gregory in 1779. From the village 1801 census, which the reverend George Greaves compiled, Thomas is with his wife, son and mother in law. He is recorded as Parish Clerk and gardener. In the same census Robert Ward born 1762 and his wife Jane and family are recorded. Can anyone help me to find out how these two men are related. They are the only 2 Ward families in this 1801 census, the same again in the 1821.
