Help I have bought some more credits on Ancestry and managed to find William Ward on the 1871, 1881, 1891 & 1901 censuses but looking for a bit of help with his birth or marriage.
I know from his son's birth certificate (Charles William Ward) in 1868 that the parents were listed as William Ward and Elizabeth Wood. In the 1871 census he is listed as age 23 and a craftsman I think and Elizabeth is listed as age 22 so they could not have been married long and Charles seems to be their 1st child. William and Elizabeth's place of birth are both listed as Stratford Essex.
If I can find the marriage that will give me both William and Elizabeth's fathers and then could try the 1861 census. The birth would give me both parents names.
Many thanks

PS This is a side I realised I had not explored
