That sounds right. His sisters came out to Australia in 1866. Now I can look for his marriage. I found his death in US and that gave me their parents which was great. I am thankful that one of his sisters in a death notice actually put the full date of his death 24/1/1902. Many thanks

This might be him and his family in 1900

Cancel that, that family is there in 1910,including Hugh

I suspect that a son Thomas dies a few months after Hugh

With this a 1901 birth for a Thomas Hugh Ward can be found ... parents Hugh Ward and Mary Gruman (or Groman for daughter Harriet in 1897)

That is interesting. He was having children at a late age. I will try and find the marriage. Thanks

So you think he married twice. John was his father's name.  He had a sister called Rose. Did Rosie die?
Lots of questions and hard to find the answers after all these years. Thanks I certainly have a lot of research to do.
