Thanks for all the information sent. I am now more confused than ever. It seems most strange that both Thomas and Margaret should have Hewitt as mother.  I have sent for Margarets birth cert.in the hope that her father is mentioned.  Why would Thomas be left with the family and Margaret removed?  So many questions to answer!

Thomas would be about 6 when his Mother died and Margaret a toddler.
Maybe the new Wife was not so comfortable with having toddler around.

Please let us know the outcome of the Birth Cert :)

Problem solved!  James Ward married Jane Hewitt.  She had a sister Eleanor Hewitt who married Martin Wilkinson.  After Jane died, Margaret was sent to live with Eleanor and Martin her aunt and uncle. This was also how the name Wilkinson came to be in the SOUTER family. Once the connections were made it was quite simple!  I cannot find what happened to Thomas Ward who was another child of James and Jane. He was born in 1842.  However,I have not investigated very far as yet.

You mentioned not knowing what happened to Thomas Ward.

This may be him;
UK, Apprentices Indentured in Merchant Navy, 1824-1910
Thomas Ward apprenticed 16 Nov 1855 aged 14 at Maryport to vessel Lott Bernard


OOh looking at image of record it has he drowned at Sea 14/6/1859. :'(
