Hi I have today sent away a marriage certificate for my great great great grandfather William Ward. I think he married an Elizabeth Wood in West Ham in 1867. The marriage certificate will give me their father's names.
I think William may have been born around 1848 (maybe even as early as 1845) and I know from censuses that he was born in Stratford in West Ham - all the Wards seem to have come from there.
Is that too far back to get a certificate? If so is there anything anyone could suggest to try to find his birth which would give me both his parents names or is that about the end of that particular line?
Many thanks as always
