looking for my WARD ancestors from bethnal green and shoreditch.who moved to staffordshire
John Ward born 1833 ,either in Bethnal green or Shoreditch Middlesex .
He came to Newcastle under Lyme Staffordshire. his trade was a weaver of silk.
so was his wife Elizabeth Ward, [Walker], they brought all their children with them .
There was a drastic bout of cholera at the time so decided to leave and start again .
His children all lived to grow up and have their own business .
I have traced them all through births .deaths and marriages,
total time up to date now 50 years............
My interest is now the 17oos . in SHOREDITCH ETC.
this is now a very hard task as I am now semi invalid and cannot travel .I am keeping a well written history of them so my children will be able to read it when I am ready .the churches that I seem to have their contacts are Bethnal Green and Shoreditch . I was told that Elizabeth Ward formerly Walker was supposed to have her relatives in Bethnal Green .......
If any one has any relatives of either names I would dearly like to hear from them. please.
all the Ward sons when grown up became Tailors in stoke on Trent and Longton.
Thank you for any help ..... BARBARA WRIGHT JOHNSON
