Benjamin Ward b Eastrington c 1811-1816

[CaroleW]

Given the variation in his birthyear - When did Benjamin die & how old was he at that time

[moiramount]

No marriage to a Mary of that name, back to square one

[moiramount]

Birth 1814 aged 60 on death 1874

[CaroleW]

You will have noticed Mary was about 7yrs older than him so could have been married previously.  Her maiden name on the birth of a child to the second marriage would be her true birth surname but she would probably have married under her previous married name- always supposing she was previously married??

[moiramount]

Yes I thought about that

[moiramount]

Just found his baptism, it came up as Waud, parents are William and Mary, Eastrington.

Did son George marry Emma Dixon?  If so - any significance in his middle name?

[moiramount]

Johnhood I had just been looking at this one for the second time. I wouldn't be surprised if its the right one because George was just George Ward, then all of a sudden Wilson got added into the mix, thankyou very much.
