Hi,
I am currently trying to trace my 4x Great Grandfather, to find his parents but unfortunately I am not having much luck.
Thomas Ward was born c1821 in Lincolnshire, his year of birth and place of birth changes on each census.
1861, born 1821 Stockworth Lincs (Could this be Stockwith?)
1871 born 1821 Gainsborough
1881 born 1824 Gainsborough
1891 born 1826 Gainsborough.
Thomas's occupation is a tinman.
Thomas Wards wife was Sarah Hough born 1829 North Scarle Lincolnshire. I haven't actually been able to find a marriage for them.
I can't find Thomas on the 1851 census, I did find a William Ward born 1819 Gainsborough, occupation a tinman, on the 1851 and he is a prisoner. I was wondering if William may have been a relative.
It looks like Thomas Ward died in 1894 Grantham Lincs aged 70, and Sarah died 1893 Grantham Lincs.
I was hoping to find a marriage for Thomas and Sarah so that I could confirm Thomas's fathers name, but unfortunately it looks like they didn't actually get married.
I have found 2 baptisms in Gainsborough, Thomas 1818 parents John and Rebecca and Thomas 1828 parents Thomas and Jane. But I can't find any connection between them and my Thomas. But my Thomas had a daughter named Rebecca (my 3x Grt Grandmother), so he may have named her after his mother.
Any help or advice on how I can trace Thomas further back would be truly appreciated.
