Australia / Re: John WARD - Wellington NSW

Yes, I have the marriage certificates. My problem and others who have researched this line, is we can't find him arriving here. His brother (if it is him) William, apparently sent him out here after having troubles at home, with the police. There are many J W's who came out as convicts but none seem to be the right age or if they are didn't come from Warwickshire or nearby. I am led to believe he came free but once again, no sign of him.
Debra, once I have confirmation on a few points i will reveal.

Hi All,
I have someone checking the parish records in Bathurst, their second child was baptised and listed as Bathurst but, the pastor from Bathurst did the rounds before a church was built in Wellington, so I would assume they would not have travelled to Bathurst but he (the pastor) came to them.
I also have a book on the Taylor /Ward family, written by Geoff Taylor and published in 2000. Upon talking to the authors wife , I was informed most of the information was obtained 1983 on a trip to England and later that year in NSW. The book is called Lathe, Anvil, Pick and Plough and I have found a lot of the information on the Ward family from the early years (1800's) is incorrect. I am on another tangent now so we will see what comes of that.

Thank you for the above information. I don't have a lot of information on John Ward as I am a maternal descendant of his brother William. I have all the background information on the Wards back to John and Elizabeth Ward in Warwickshire in 1735. Most of the information I have is from the Parish records, but from the mid 1800's, certificates mainly in Australia. My interest in John was revived by a query from a descendant of John Ward and Sarah Kearns. I will keep searching for his arrival here to substantiate the information I have.

I believe the John Ward you are looking for is the brother of William Ward, the son of William Ward and Ann Douglas who lived in Long Lawford. William arrived in Sydney on the "China" on the 7th September 1841, The next I can find of William is marrying Ann Stevens at Montefiores (Wellington) on 30 August 1852.  John Ward (Born 1921) arrived here sometime in that period. John and Williams sister, Charlotte, arrived here on the Simonds on the 14th April 1855.She married a James Rogerson from Dubbo in the same year. John Ward was an Inn Keeper at Montefiores (Wellington NSW). The Inn was known as Wards Inn. William Ward gathered up quite a bit of property. My sticking point is that I cannot find John Ward, arriving in Australia, but I believe it must have been around the same time as his brother, William. As a bit of interest the Inn still stands and is now a private home. (http://acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/_Zoomify/2011/D13950/a2824837.html) The Inn is the building at the end of the street in the center.
