USSHER/WARD
« on: Tuesday 25 April 06 01:58 BST (UK) »
Would love to hear from anybody researching the USSHER/WARD families.

Margaret WARD m. in Australia in 1841 - she didn't supply any information about her parents but her death cert. showed her parents names were Owen WARD and Honorah USSHER.

Not much to go on, I know.

All the best,
Gail (in Australia)

Hello Gail,

What denomination were the Ussher and Ward families?

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.

Hi Christopher,

Thank you once again for your input - it is appreciated. Sadly, this couple turned out not to be in my line but am in touch with the 'real' Ward/Ussher connection so will pass your message on to them.

All the best,
Gail
