Looks like Mary Ann and George Ward never had children of their own:-

1871 England Census about Mary Ann Ward

Possible marriage for my 1881 couple:-


Marriages Dec 1878 (>99%)
CARTER William Leeds 9b 765
DRAKE Clara Frances Leeds 9b 765
Eastwood John Leeds 9b 765
WARD Mary Ann R Leeds 9b 765

Yorkshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1878
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
EASTWOOD John WARD Mary A Leeds Registered Building Leeds RB/66/180


I believe Mary Ann R. Ward is Mary Ann Rogers Hilton, (sister of Catharine Hilton).


Marriages Mar 1863 (>99%)
GREASBY John Gainsbro' 7a 867
HILTON Mary Ann Rogers Gainsbro 7a 867
HIND Elizabeth Gainsbro 7a 867
WARD George Thomas Gainsbro 7a 867


As sister Mary was married, she probably adopted Bertha, which explains why she had the name Ward in 1881 census.
