  • Can you find this Ward?

    Hello everyone,

    Catherine Hannah Ward was born on the 25th January 1840 in Hampstead, London. Her Father was Richard George Ward a Licensed Victualler and her mother was Catherine Barrow Ward formerly Hardcastle.

    Richard registered the birth and his abode is given as Mill Walk (I think - bad writing!), Hampstead.

    Richard and Catherine's marriage certificate tell us:

    April 27 1839, St Pancras Parish Church, London

    Richard George Ward, Full Age, Widower, Hairdresser, Kentish Town, William Ward, Dead
    Catherine Barrow Hardcastle, Full Age, Spinster, ---, Kentish Town, William Hardcastle, Tailor

    Witnesses were George Henry Cragg and Mary Hannah Cragg

    Catherine Barrow Hardcastle was from Skipton, North Yorkshire.

    In 1861 Catherine is back in Skipton with her parents and is a widow. She has a son with her, Richard G Ward, born c1847 in Uxbridge, Middlesex.

    In 1851 Catherine is also with her parents and another son, Charles Albert born c1845 in Uxbridge. She is shown as being married, not a widow.


    So, can anyone find anything about Richard George Ward Snr?


    Thanks,

    Tom

        That's what I keep coming back to Merry but was just worried that he died somewhere in Somerset where he was visiting in 1851.

        It is a friends tree so will have to ask them if they want to take a chance on it. Personally I would but no sure about the friend. lol

          Hmmmmm. That 1851 does look possible. Have you tried to eliminate him in case there are cousin Richard Wards, both hairdressers?

            Not yet, it is a common name and in London so it is a big difference to the research I have been doing recently where everything was reported in the Times and other newspapers

            It's a long time since I looked at my Walker family in London so am out of practice. lol. Thanks for the help though

              There's a Well Walk in Hampstead. If he was a licensed victualler (or indeed a hairdresser) you might find him in directories. If a licenced victualler, his applications for licences might still be around in the relevant archives.

                Family History

                has a list of licencees of Hampsted pubs, but I couldn't see your man, though it does mention The Load of Hay in Well Walk

                    mentions a pub in Well Walk called The Green Man, which was demolished in 1849.
