1851 & '61 lookup, Ward, Fen Ditton
« on: Thursday 30 September 04 03:17 BST (UK) »
I would be most grateful if someone could locate a Thomas Ward, born about 1843 in Fen Ditton. I believe he was there in both of these censuses.

Many, many thanks

Cambs FHS has an excellent website with searchable indexes for 1841 and 1851 censuses:

http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html

But in 1851 the only Wards in Fen Ditton were Thomas 63 ag lab born Hilton Hunts
Susan 52 laundress b Burwell Cambs
Susan dau 16 b Fen Ditton

1861
Thomas 76 b Hilton
Susan 67 b Burwell
Mary Ann Ward grand dau 2 b Fen Ditton

Plus in the Banyard household
Jane Ward serv unm 26 b Fen Ditton

No sign of your Thomas though.
