Victor Wallace Ward

[Evie]

So all in all he had no brothers or sister other that Ronald Kelly

I am confused - who do you mean?

Ronald Kelly Ward was his only brother in the family bible it says he was born in 1879 at 137 Manchester St the same house as Victor Wallace Ward born 1881
Ronald Kelly Ward married Laura and had two children Victor Wallace Ward and Mabel Gwendoline they lived with their parents Peter Edward and Ester Jane at 15 Devonshire Rd in 1911

Hi

Looks like Victor Wallace only had a surviving brother Ronald Kelly as you rightly said.

I couldn't find Elsie on the usual BMD but there was an Essie who was born 1877 Oldham and again it came up with Essie again as having died 1877, Oldham.

So I wonder if her name was Essie or Elsie?

I am pleased you are sorted. if you need anything else just ask.

Evie, From an Undertakers bill to Mr V.W.Ward 29 Claremount Rd Seaforth Liverpool dated April 11th 1934 it states for the funeral Arrangements of the late Joan Marjorie Ward (she must have been about 3) etc...etc
to a new private grave at SS Peter and Paul's, Crosby
Victor Wallace Ward 1881-1960 was interred there as was his wife Amelia Mary Ward 1898 - ? so it seems they had a family plot they had an daughter who came to live in Birmingham and she died in 1999 and was buried at the same place in the family plot

Am new to rootschat - I joined as I found your old postings on Victor and was pleased to see the information - I can tell you he was in the Royal Welch Fusiliers in Agra in 1907 ( sergeant). In 1910 he was in Shwebo in Burma which fits in with the information you have. Did you say you had some photographs of Shwebo from that time would love to see them

I am keen to find a photo of him if anyone has one and if there any living relatives would like to make contact.

Victor was a freemason and was the first joining member of Lodge Ormond -Iles 3343 which had just been founded in Shewbo.
