Greeting’s….. Elaine SO……Do we follow the trail of paint splashes then ? …lol :0))) Re your inquiry…John Ward 1871. Census image reads thus…… John Ward. Servant. Unmar. 17. House Gardener. b FRISBY His Sister ( Maria) is also within the same household (Domestic Cook) If you go to 1861. Census return RG 11./ 2299. / 72. / Page 4. Keyword…..” Ward “ You will see them both 10 years younger With Parents Robert Ag. Lab.& Grocer And Alice Shepherdess And youngest Sister Eliza The Jury is still out on the other one…re 1881. image If it was the village of Smisby for his birth place …… Then Smisby is NOT within Leicestershire…. It's Derbyshire Also look at other capital “ S’s” on page ….not the same. Smisby by the way is to the North of Ashby de la Zouch A very nice Ye Old'e Hamlet…… Reputed to be the site of the Jousting Tournaments In the novel……. “ Ivanhoe “ Although there is christening records (I.G.I. Batch No.’s ) of Wards within Smisby 1786. ~ 1818. But could not bring any up on Censuses ether side of the 1881 one…Grrr Case of……. Put that one to one side me thinks…… But in the meantime I'll still have a ferret around..... MIKE. xx

Bev/Mike You are both welcome at mine anytime Elaine

Just copying across this info from Part 10 for people who may not have seen it: http://members*lycos*co*uk/larpindex/home*php Leicestershire and Rutland People index covering soldiers, paupers and convicts http://homepages*rootsweb Yesterday's journey's - 'As in any age, people have had to deal with documentation and Officials whether it be for good or bad. Yesterdays Journey records the names of those people who had dealings with those events and the paperwork involved. The documents that sent them back to their legal settlement or let them stay in a new parish. The warrants for their arrest, or the Indentures that gave them a start in working life and the papers that named the fathers of illegitimate children, or the Wills that folks left. They are all here.......Dealing primarily with Derbyshire it does however cover the whole of the British Isles as people moved around seeking work, travelled as vagrants through the County or were chased throughout the realm as the responsibility of fatherhood and law caught up with them.'

Hi Bev Still in the same place in Notts but over the other side away from the youths that would collect where we used to be and generally hound everyone. It's been on our local news an several occasions and we had the youngest person to be given an ASBO as well! The house is great although alot smaller but it's detached. It's cosmetic stuff mainly, lots of painting to do and hopefully it will be warmer once they do the cavity walls on Monday. I will just about get straight and then my daughter will be home from uni LOL Elaine
