The Hunts. baptism index doesn't show any Fletton baptisms at Great Gidding around that time. 

Four children of William and Elizabeth Fletton were baptised there during the 1770s, and no others in Huntingdonshire at all after that except for four children of Thomas and Ann Fletton at Elton between 1802 and 1810.

The Huntingdonshire parish registers indexed on Family Search contain no baptisms at all recorded for 1800-01, which suggests they’re missing for some reason. It looks as if there’s a CD including a database of the parish records (A Millenium History of Great Gidding, Patrick Ellis, 2004) so might be worth posting on the Huntingdonshire board to find out more about it.

Thanks all for your help, some super researching going on

All I have is Sarah Fletton marries Thomas Ward in 1826 at St Peter in Oundle Northamptonshire

She is listed on the 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881 Census records as being born in Great Gidding and dies in 1884

I have seen a family tree on Ancestry that shows Thomas Ward married a Sarah Johnson (1801-1887) but do not have access to Ancestry (as I am with Find My Past). However the Marriage record shows Thomas as a batchelor and Sarah as a spinster so can't see a change in surname and also the later children of Thomas and Sarah born in Oundle Northamptonshire shows their mother's maiden name as Flitton for Frederick Ward 1838, and Fletton for Mary Ann Ward 1841 and Thomas Ward 1844

So a bit stuck really   :(

The other Thomas WARD Married Sarah JOHNSON 18 Mar 1822 Pisford, Northampton
This is on Anc so looks like Trees have just taken that Marriage and run with it.

Its also on FreeREG as taking place Pitsford.
Bachelor/Spinster
Thomas of Pitsford, Sarah of Kingsthorpe, William Johnson a witness

Thomas/Sarah Ward bapt Pitsford;
Harriet Elizabeth 23 Jun 1822

She married 1842 Pitsford to Jabez JAMES and is easy to find on Census although sometimes she is just Elizabeth, also Harriet/t E or Harriet James up til 1891 Census.

1841 in Pitsford we have;
Thos Ward   45 Ag Lab
Sarah Ward 35
Harriett Ward 15

So Harriet may be their only child as I cant find any others to them.

Burial there in Pitsford 13 Apr 1846 of THOMAS Ward age 48 which may be him.
But cant seem to find Sarah in 1851.
