Thanks Pauline
I've found Elizabeth COLLEDGE spr 1872 and Elizabeth PARKER wint 1874/5.
This would make Elizabeth Colledge the prime candidate, as the wife of my great uncle William H Ward was 28 at the 1901 census.
However, also in the 1901 census is a William H Ward (32, b Leicester) with wife Eliza (31 b L.... Leicestershire) living in Derby, who seems the best candidate for the "other" William H Ward.
Of course, this might be someone else entirely. It's even conceivable that my William H Ward actually married BOTH Elizabeth COLLEDGE and Elizabeth PARKER!
Of course, ordering both marriage certificates is the answer, but I'm trying to avoid upsetting my credit crunch conscious wife!
