Find Ancestors

a happy ending ian

so glad for you

i have also just found and met my half brother

it is so wonderful when things work out

For those that like a happy ending... (aaahhhh).

Mary Ellen Ward, Daughter of Samuel & Mary Ward, born Bristol in October 1910 and on the 1911 census as living at 8 Cooperage Road, Redfield is the right one!

Through the magic of the internet, I have now met Mary Ellen's Grandaughter and have spoken to Mary Ellen's daughter (who lives in Turkey). She is my mother's unknown half sister, (and may yet turn out to be a full sister!)

So to people looking, I say - don't give up. And do make sure you publish your family trees for all to see, as it was finding a match on a public tree that finally allowed me to make the connection.

Still searching for relatives of a Ellen Mary Ward, who lived at 23 Park Grove, Henleaze in Bristol in 1934. She would have been between 16 and 25 then, we think. Ellen was my mother's birth mother. The father was a Stanley Robert Norcott, but we don't believe they were married. Mum was adopted about two years after the birth and became Doreen Joan Bunton. Mum would dearly love to know if she has any half brothers or sisters or other relatives on the Ward side. She has been in touch with the Norcott side before, but would also like to get back in contact with them. Please help!
