Patrick Ward
« on: Sunday 03 April 16 12:16 BST (UK) »
Hi, My Great Great Grandfather was Neil Ward we think he was born in Donegal in 1920. His father was Patrick Ward. Neil went to Scotland and worked in the mines and was killed in the first major disaster in Scotland at one of the Dixon pits in Blantyre.
Does anyone know anything about the above family in Ireland?
Long shot but you never know.
Thanks
John

Sorry it was 1820 he was born. His birth cert was just a line in a register with his name and his fathers name

Best to start with your great-great-grandfather Neil Ward's birth certificate to get names of both parents, then search for parents marriage, etc.

I can't see a likely birth registration at present but perhaps you know more details that will allow up to better help you?

Yes, it seems as though 1920 may be a typo?
Lots online about the 1877 pit explosion. This gives Neil Ward as age 56 so born c1821-
