Look in search trees for links on GR. If you find any, send contact messages to the tree owners via GR

Otherwise, try researching them - starting with freebmd for possible marriages/deaths etc

Who was born in Barrow on Soar?

And if Harold was your grandfather - his parents were only your great-grandparents

If you are researching a family from B-u-S this website may be useful, it has most of the parish records

http://www.leicestershirevillages.com/barrowuponsoar/availablechurchandbu.html

Their marriage was recorded in 1872 on that site

I don't think Angela plans to return - in view of the wording of her post

I would like to thank Reggie very much for the info he provided in a previous thread. This is greatly appreciated by myself, I can assure you. I will certainly add the information reggie provided and research further. I am finding it a bit difficult because of the number of siblings my grandfather had and the common surname of ward and the fact that siblings based in both leicestershire and derbyshire area.

I have also discovered that part of the ward family (siblngs to Henry) emigrated to canada (Saskatchewan) in 1930's/1940's. It is trying to trace descendents that I am finding hard to trace. :-)
