cbcarolyn, Peter Ward definitely had a pregnant partner and a son when he left Ireland for USA in 1930. I say partner and not wife because from 1922 when he would have been 16 years old, until 1930 when he emigrated, I can find no marriage in Northern Ireland (https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/) for a Peter Ward marrying a girl called Ann, Anne, Annie etc.
PhotoFamily, the Irish soldier aged 19 marrying Annie McCarthy in 1925 is a great find but unfortunately we have no way of knowing if he is the correct person.
I think I have taken up enough of both your times, and intend to now let this matter rest.
Thank you both for your time and help.
Paul.
I think that the record cbcarolyn found indicated she was still living in County Down. I don't know when/if or by whom the Irish 1931 census will be released, but it could be she would still be there then.
