Greetings from Australia!

Thank you so much for all the information!  My cousin in the UK has done a lot of research already but I don't think he has been able to go back this far. What a great help you are - I appreciate the time you have taken to do this for me!

I found a cousin who has traced our Ward family back to generations of Wards who lived in Crosby Ravensworth. Does anyone have more information on this family?

William Ward was born in Kendal (1800-1865 ) the son of William Ward born 1763 and Mary Dodd born1763.

I was lucky to find a cousin on OurWardFamily website and he has done quite a lot of research on the family! He has gone as far back as Thomas Ward who was born in1685.
I have also found out that we go back to generations of Wards who lived in the village of Crosby Ravensworth in East Cumbria.
If there are any other Wards who are in this family please contact me.

Sorry but the information on my last post related to another branch of my family William Ward -  not James Rigby! It was meant for another thread!

I did find out that James Rigby's father was Raymond Ward and his mother was Mary Dixon. They were married in 1859 and both were born in 1841 in Bolton.
I can't seem to go any further back with this one!

I guess I would need to go on the Irish thread for Sligo to find more information about Owen O' Beirne who was born there around 1838.
Thank you for finding the information about where Rose Anna's father was born.

When I looked in Freebmd for a James Rigby born around 1842 there were quite a few of that name born in the area where he lived later on so it's hard to know which one was my ancestor!
