PRR MOULTON Ward Fever

[HIL]

Help!
Thomas Ward married Ann Waterfield (Ann born abt 1816)at Kingsthorpe 1837. He was from Moulton and children born there -
eldest known Rosetta Fever Ward abt 1838 to youngest found George Ward 1852

Now, I have also found a Richard Fever Ward born abt 1821 -
Richard's father on his marriage was a farmer also called Thomas Ward..
so could Richard and Thomas be brothers? father to both a Thomas?and the mother's maiden name Fever?
Would be lovely if someone was able to look up their baptisms for me? am hoping they would be at Moulton. Thanks so much,
hilary

I can't help but comment on her name I am afraid.  Up to the days of modern antibiotics Rosetta was another name for Scarlet Fever (Scarletina today) which was often fatal and involved isolation frequently in the Fever Ward of the local  hospital.  It thus seems very surprising that anyone would call a daughter Rosetta Fever Ward.

If you don't know the area contact me directly as it was the playground of my childhood and one of our boyhood expeditions was to walk to Moulton, round the back lane to Kingsthorpe (where we could count on refreshments at my friend's cousins and then back across the Golf Course to our part of Northampton.
