Abraham Pellant was my ggg grandfather: Abraham Pellant > Walter Pellant > Grace Pellant = Frank Ward > Francis Louis Ward > Francis Rodney Ward > David Ward. I have come up against this problem as well and have not been able to go back further than Mary Pellant (Pellunt). Mary Pellant (Pellunt) was born Mary Smith and married Robert Pellant in 1816 at St Giles. Mary had four children by Robert before his untimely death. She then fell on hard times and was removed to her birthplace at St Albans where she had her fifth (eligitimate) child, Abraham. I assume that the father was William as described on Abraham's wedding certificate but who he was I do not know.

I have had a number of conversations with others interested, notably Barbara Willis, and as a result I have a fair amount of information on the Pellant family and naturally, the Ward family into which Grace Pellant married. I will be happy to share this information. Perhaps you could let me know how you fit in? E-Mail drward (at) tiscali.co.uk
