After the success with my Clara Ward I now wanted to start a final Ward thread for the last two unknowns - Charley & Rose and here is what I know so far
* Charles Harold Ward born 8th October 1896 parents Charles William Ward and Clara Pettit
We think Charles died during the War but as to whether that was WW1 as a soldier or WW2 as maybe a civilian I can't be sure. The gravestone which has fallen over which has Charles' name on it might help. My new contact who is related to May Driscoll (Clara's younger daughter) says that she has a photo of Charley in a uniform which she will send in due course and that might help. Clara's 2nd husband James Driscoll served with the Grenadier Guards in WW1 and I thought Charles may have served there too but nothing on ancestry. No sign of a marriage or a likely death and a thorough search has been done of the CWGC by some of the members so looks like a brick wall for the meantime.
* Rose Agnes born 10 Sept 1897 parents Charles William Ward and Clara Pettit
I think as per an earlier thread that Rose was on the 1911 census living with a lady called Elizabeth Challand, b Old Somerby Lincilnshire. They are living at Old Dalby in Melton Mowbray. However I cannot find her again!!!
Amanda recently had another look at her late uncles address book and came across 2 new Roses listed in it as well as a previous Rose - they are
1. Rose Millard at flat 40 Inglewood, New Barn Park., Swanley, Kent.
2. Rose & Sid Privett ------- (There is a marriage of a Sydney Privett to a Rose A Franklin in 1937 in Camberwell and a death of a Rose Amy Privett born 15th Jan 1916 died 2003 in Kent.) This might dispel this couple.
3. Rose Smart (this is the previous one we looked at) - in the address book it also has Rose and Grace (aka Dolly Phillips) with the same phone number like they stayed together and there is a page that says Rose Smart & Doll, 27 Kent House Lane, Beckenham, Kent SE22.
There also seems to be a date for a birthday given as 29th May but that doesn't tally up Roses date of birth that we know of but if there are two Roses that would explain the different date.
That is as much as I know so far and wondered if anyone can weave their magic to locate the last two?

If you count the Agnes Rose ones as well (many people swapped their names over) the number rises. Just imagine how many Rose deaths there are
