WARD Family/ East Dereham

[seamuscrow]

Hi,
Looking for census info on Thomas WARD, born 1797, wife Susannah, born 1801, both in East Dereham. Children Thomas Nicholson, Hanna Elizabeth, Edward Gostling and Maria Susannah WARD, born between 1824 and 1831 in E.D.
I thought the 1841 census might be a good place to start?Grateful for any help.
Jim

Hi Jim,
I managed to find them in 1841 for you.

Thomas Ward, 40, Plumber.
Susan Ward, 35.
Thomas Ward, 15.
Hannah Ward, 14.
Edward Ward, 12.

Jonathan Ward, 4.

Also found a possible marriage for Thomas & Susan,
Thomas Ward & Sussan Nicholson 22/10/1823, East Dereham.

Hope this helps,
Clare.

Hi Clare,
Thanks very much. The info that you sent is very helpful.
Can you check for this family in the 1851 and 1861 census returns as well, again in East Dereham? I have been able to track down Thomas (Jr.) in London in 1861, but I would like to follow his parents and the rest of the family. I am trying to narrow down the dates for the deaths of the parents, Thomas (Sr.) and his wife, Susannah.
Thanks again.
Jim

Hi Jim,

I didn't have much luck with the 1851, I could only find three of them.

This appears to be Susan & Jonathan in 1851.

And this entry is a possibilty for Thomas Snr, (at the end of the household)

   PRO Reference:   HO/107/1821   Folio:   158   Page:   15   FHL Film:   0207474



From the 1861 I found these possible entries, although some of the ages aren't quite right!!

RG9/1242, F7, Pg9, Sch47.
Hole in the Wall, Church St, East Dereham,

Maria Ward, Head, U, 30, Shoebinder, East Dereham.

RG9/64, F71, Pg17, Sch44.
218, Regent St, Westminster,

Hannah E Ward, Servant, U, 29, Saleswoman, East Dereham.

RG9/12, F66, Pg24, Sch148.
16, St Petersburg Pl, Paddington,

Susan Ward, Head, W, 60, Proprietor of Houses, East Dereham.

RG9/3701, F40, Pg23, Sch124.
North Gate St, Hartlepool,

Edward Ward, Lodger, W, 35, Shoemaker, Norwich, Norfolk.

RG9/373/ F47, Pg17, Sch88.
4, Wandle Ter, South St, Wandsworth,

Jonathan Ward, Lodger, U, 33, Shoemaker, East Dereham.

I think this is the right Jonathan as I found him again in 1871 in Wandsworth & the age was correct. Maybe the enumerator misheard him & put 33 instead of 23.


Hope this helps,
Clare.
