Here is the scan of the Buxton baptismal records for William Ward's children (attached), written in his own hand. As you can see there are slight variations from what I've seen in earlier posts as it pertains to children's names.

I have that William Ward's parents were George Hannant/Hennant and Elizabeth Ward of Bacton, Norfolk. They were married in Jan 1770:
Name:    George Henant
Gender:    Male
Marriage Date:    29 Jan 1770
Marriage Place:    Paston,Norfolk,England
Spouse:    Elizabeth Ward
FHL Film Number:    894713

And William Ward was born/baptized in 1770:

This would fit with the naming practice of the middle name of the first born son being the same as the mother's maiden name (ie, Robert Smith Hannant).

Hope that helps.

Hello,

William Clarke Hannant married Mary Hubbard on 26 Feb 1836 in Hainsford, St. Faiths District. This should be before Hephzibah was born.  Mary was born in 1806, in Hainsford. There is a strong possibility that Hephzibah has some connection to the Hubbards as she was born in Hainsford according to census information. I suppose she could be their child, but that begs the question why wouldn't she be recorded as living with them on the census reports until 1851? Also, why refer to her as niece?
I couldn't find her in the Baptist records that are accessible online. Thanks for inquiring, though!

Just an FYI, but if your photos make it on to a public tree at any point, they will show up in a Google images search for that name. So even if you have the person remove it from their tree, it will still be out there.

Wow. Thanks for the heads up about Sophia's info. So is there any way to see if Hephzibah was legally adopted by her uncle and would that leave a paper trail? Or would it be more likely at this time that she would just be taken in and never formally adopted?
Thanks so much for all the help!

I agree. Is there anyone on here that can do look ups or are they available through the LDS microfilms? I've only accessed their online records up until now.
Thank you!

I'm not really sure who Elizabeth is. If she was Matilda's she should have been listed as a "Self" as she would be Matilda and her husband's child. Matilda is William Ward's youngest child. I suppose this could be a possibility.
