Hi Jacques
On the IGI on the FamilySearch site there this  baptism:

Henry Ward 19th Sep 1813 at Beighton parents Samuel Ward and Catherine

It is an extracted record so should be accurate.

Many many thanks for your quick response. YES YES it seems perfect. I have been trying for ages to find him.  I think his Mothers maiden name was Swinnerton now will have to try and trace her now. I do appreciate your help as I am a novice really only heard of Rootschat a couple of weeks ago. It is certainly helping me. Best Wishes Pam

Hi Pam
Yes Rootschat is fantastic. I've had heaps of help here and it is nice to help others in return. Hope you find his parents' marriage on the IGI.
Happy searching Jan
