Hi Darcy
Thanks very much.
I can never remember in the 1841 census did they round up or down t the nearest 5.
I don't suppose you could look at the 61,71 census please. I'm hoping he married.
Thanks

Sorry Smudger,
I haven't been on the site for a few days. I'll do the lookups for you now,
The ages were rounded down on the 1841 census.

No luck in finding the Robert Ward c 1831 on the 1861 census.
The only entries I can see for born Croxton Kerrial are -
Robert Ward aged 77 years
Robert Ward aged 21 years, wife Mary Ann 21, son Thomas 1.
If you think there is any connection I can post the full details.
I'll have a look at 1871.

I am a descendant of Robert Ward, a farm labourer who was born 25/11/1830 in Croxton Kerrial. A widower with a daughter Catherine he later remarried and sailed to New Zealand with Catherine and second wife Elizabeth, nee Henson, on the Strathallan. They landed in Timaru in January 1859. He died there in 1875 .
If this seems like the person who are looking for, I can send more information and a photo of the gravestone.
