Hi and welcome to Rootschat

I'm looking for any information on the Ward family from the Sunderland area, pre 1908

We need to know exactly which Ward family you are referring to as there are 296 entries for that surname on the 1901 for Sunderland.

If you have the family on the 1911 census - could you post full details of chriustian names/birthyears/birthplaces etc

Hi, I'm an absolute beginner at all this, so any help would be great. I on't have any access to the census at the moment though.

I'm looking for the family of Lydia Eveline Ward, born 1887, who married James Williamson about 1908.

[CaroleW]

Not a problem - we were all beginners at one time

Just to confirm she was born in Sunderland - here's her birth registration from freebmd

Births March qtr 1887        
Lydia Eveline Ward Sunderland    10a   607

I'll just check the 1891 census for her

Thank you so much
