I tried to find Charles/Mary Buswell without anything conclusive being found.
Yes I knew she was a spinster but was hoping on Census her pob/dob would make her the sister of Joseph.

If Joseph was born 1793 Brixworth, he seems to be the only one around that time. Another possible burial for his father, sadly no details.

Thomas Ward    Burial   24 Aug 1803   Brixworth

1861 Kingsthorpe
Joseph Ward   67   Head
Ann Ward   62   Wife

By 1871 Ann 72 is a widow living with her daughter Susanna & husband Thomas Jeffs.

Yes - That's definitely her in the census records. I couldn't find any other children born to Thomas and Eliz in Brixworth around that time either.

Hi,

When Joseph Ward = Ann Woodford 17.10.1820 at Ravensthorpe a witness is Mary Ward.

Have you considered that this may be some relation. 

There is a bpt 18.12.1699 Brixworth
John & Mary twins of Thomas & Elizabeth ward

Brixworth & Ravensthorpe are only six miles apart, have you considered that Thomas Ward may have originated from Ravensthorpe.

There is a marriage Northampton, St Sepulchre
Parish Registers
1566-1723

14.6.1696
Thomas ward of Brixworth = Elizabeth Lawndon of P ?

Thanks I'll look into that. To be honest i'm still not certain that the marriage of Joseph Ward to Ann Woodford is the correct marriage.  Later on when we reach the period covered by census, Ann consistently gives her place of birth as Overstone and a birth year of 1799. I can only find records of two Ann Woodfords baptised in Northamptonshire in the right period. They are both baptised in the same parish that their parents were married in, which suggests to me that they were probably born in that parish, and neither is near Overstone.

Joseph WARD, born ~ 1793 Brixworth Northamptonshire is your direct ancestor.

Joseph WARD has children with Ann, born ~ 1799 Overstone, Northamptonshire.

Through which of their sons/daughters are you descended?

Can you give marriage, children details for this close ancestor?

What other children, additional to those recorded in census records, 1841+,  have you identified as children of Joseph WARD and Ann?
