I think this is George's birth certificate.
Births
George Ward
march 1866 / Selby
Vol No: 9c / Page No: 610

John W Ward
June 1866 / Doncaster
Vol No: 9c / Page No: 539

Marriage
John Ward/ Elizabeth Holman
March 1864 / Selby
Vol No: 9c / Page No: 719

1871 Census
RG10 / 4735 / 46 / 22
Millgate, Selby

John Ward / head / 29 / Agr Labourer                  b. Wistow
Elizabeth / wife / 26                                              b. Leeds
John W / son / 5
George / son / 3

the enumerator has 'dittoed' both boys as being born in Leeds.  I think this may be an error.  Selby is not far from Wistow.

Terri, if you were ordering George's birth certificate I would state the parents names.  If it is the wrong cert then you will only be charged £3 as opposed to £7 - that's if you want to order the certificate of course

My OH WARD's are a very small family...only two brothers emigrated in the 1860's from Suffolk and it is well documented and validated.  Descendants are buried at the North Road Anglican Cemetery.

If you require further help with searches in SA you are more than welcome to contact me by pm to avoid muddying the waters on this thread.  I do not live in South Australia but have fair knowledge of what is available....with an emphasise on the fair

Terri, I think I would try and find Ann's death cert.  Without that it's difficult to work forward.  It might also be worth buying George & Ann's marriage cert.
I have crossed out George's birth details.  I must have been seeing double late last night.  As you say there are no births registered Selby, but there are 2 possibles registered Pontefract.

I have found the report of Annie WARD's death in the newspaper the Advertiser in January 1918.   I have also found her death registration which was registered with surname WARDE   The death certificates in South Australia in 1918 give little information. 

All has been pm'd to terribrown.

Hi Terri,
We have corresponded before. There is a newspaper article relating to the death of Annie. She died in the Royal Adelaide Hospital on 24th January 1918. The following year her daughter put a notice in the paper. Adelaide had married Bert Skinner by this time. I believe Annie died about a day or so after the fire.
She was buried the following day.

Also on the Powls I have seen on the web an article written by John Powls in 1841 and he is 16. He talks about his life and also parents granparents and great grandparents. Have you seen this.
Regards Jenny

Hi. Yes I have both of those. The article about him as an apprentice cordwainer is really interesting and gave me a few clues to his links with the Auty family (Ann Auty being my 5th great grandmother). 
George Ward is reputed to have been deported after the death of Annie Drury but I can find no info about him- except that her family did not like him much. George and Annie were my great grandparents.
It is really great to get messages from people (like You). Every bit helps. Thank you so much
