Hi team
A recent thread has awakened my WARD of Firbank / Kendal interest... Am having a few issues though?!
Mary WARD, ch Firbank 20 Nov 1836 to William and Elizabeth. Mary marries William DODD about 1858, although I cant find the marriage, and has a large number of children, which I have.
I also cannot find the marriage of Mary's parents, William and Elizabeth. Some online tree's have Elizabeth's mn as STOREY.
Census returns have Elizabeth born at Sedburgh, Yorks c1805. The 1841 the family are at High House, Firbank. Their eldest, Catherine was ch 1823, so a marriage around that time would be likely. Census returns have William born at Firbank, Westmorland c1796. I cannot locate a baptism.
I found sisters, Mary and Margaret WARD, born Firbank, living together on the 1851 census with their mother Catharine. Could be William's sisters and mother. This Catharine WARD is on the 1841 with the WOOF family at Gill, Firbank. Listed are John and Ann WOOF. John WOOF married Ann WARD, Ann is probs another sister of William c1796.
I cant find any baptisms for these 4 issue (William, Margaret, Mary, Ann), although there is this one for Agnes WARD, 31 May 1801 at Kirkby Lonsdale to James and Catharine. She passed the same year.
If William's c1796 parents are James and Catharine, I cant find a marriage. Online tree's have Catharine's mn as FARRER.
