Albert T Smith Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The ' Ward ' Family who lived in the Park and Manor Districts of Sheffield in the 1800s & early 1900 were numerous and had a number of differing trades to they name. Has anyone done a study on them to clarify if they a related to each other, due to it being basically, a fairly common name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi I am a Ward by birth and I have an Isaac who was a grocer in Duke Street in the early 1800s and after his death in 1832 his wife Elizabeth took over the business. They had a son, John who was a hardware merchant and cutler who lived in Liverpool but who married a Sheffield girl, daughter of a local pottery manufacturer. Certainly John had a number of siblings but I can't find out much more about them. I would love to know who Isaac's parents were which might help me trace the siblings.

Any information that comes my way I will pass on to you. House, Courts or block Numbers as well as road names will be of assistance. A lot of these house in the Park District were multiple dwellings, Back to Back and someone else or others lived next floor up. And most voted Conservative!! Men only voted at that time.

Addy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 9 Duke Street Sheffield was the Grocers business of Isaac and Elizabeth continued it - she is mentioned in a local directory of the time. 66 Paradise Street Liverpool was where their son John had his Hardware/Cutler business. Look forward to keeping in touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to keeping in touch Looks like it was 19 Duke St - (from 1852 directory and Elizabeth's burial entry). This could be the family in the 1841 census: 1841 census ref: piece 1336/3 e.d.7 folio 42b Duke St WARD Elizabeth 65 grocer WARD Reuben 20 mark maker WARD Jabez 15 mark maker GROVES Mary 15 FS [Female Servant] [All born in county except for the servant] Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean1 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi Albert, hope your ok. i've looked through the military stuff for the early 1900's. Out of 25 Sheffield Wards that were killed in WW1, there is a George Cyril Ward who was born Park. And also there is an A. Ward who is commemorated on St Lukes Roll of Honour that is now in St Goerges at Brookhill. St Lukes being at the end of Granville St i think. Apologies if its not relevant, regards Dean.
