He was described as Head of household, married, aged 44 years and 7months, working as a Steam Crane Driver for Jonas Colver Ltd in Sheffield Attercliffe.

John Henry and his wife Grace are shown in the Electoral Registers as living at 20, Carrfield Road, Sheffield in 1920 and 1924. However, by 1928 Grace had left (said to have 'run off' with the Coalman). In 1930 John Henry is still at that address but is joined by a Florence Taylor. They were no longer at that address in 1932.

In the 1939 register, John Henry was living at 17, Brickfields in Sheffield and working as a Steam Crane driver. The only other person at that address was an Emma Ward (b. 06 Jun 1875, so a similar age). They were both recorded as 'married'. In the 1939 register, Emma's surname was changed from Ward to Mead on the 2nd Apr 1947, which usually signifies a marriage (there is a marriage in 1Q1947 in Sheffield between Sarah E Ward and Samuel J Mead). There is a marriage in Wakefield in 3Q1936 between a John H Ward and Sarah Griffiths and one in Doncaster in 4Q1934 between a John Ward and Emma Evans - both places are around 25 miles from Sheffield.

Florence Barton (nee Jackson - J0206) remembered visiting John Henry Ward (her grandfather) in the the early 1950's. He was living with a woman who wasn't her grandmother. Florence couldn't remember where it was but thought it was in the Derby or Sheffield area.

Grace BATES [Parents] [scrapbook]-B0403 # was born on 10 Feb 1875 in Fleetwood, Lancashire. Grace married ¹ John Henry WARD-W0401 # on 24 Oct 1894 in Wirksworth, Derbyshire.

She was counted in a census on 05 Apr 1891 in 4, Market Place, Wirksworth. She was described as Domestic Servant, unmarried, aged 16 years. She was counted in a census on 31 Mar 1901 in 84 Nursery Street, Brightside, Sheffield, Yorkshire. She was described as Wife aged 26 years. She was counted in a census on 02 Apr 1911 in 3, Cross Gilpin Street, Sheffield, West Yorkshire. She was described as Wife, aged 36 years. Married for 17 years and given birth to 2 children, both still living. She was counted in a census on 19 Jun 1921 in 20, Carrfield Road, Upper Heeley, Sheffield. She was described as Wife, aged 44 years and 6 months, carrying out home duties.

MISCELLANEOUS:
In a conversation with Florence Barton (nee JACKSON-J0206) in Feb 2003, I was told that Grace left her husband and 'ran off' with the local Coalyard Owner!! She thought that Grace had a baby by him but, as an infant, it was crushed by a steam roller during a religious demonstration/march. Such an event must have been reported in the newspapers but with no idea of the date or surname, it would be a long slog to find it.

The Electoral Registers show that Grace was still living with John Henry in 1924 but was not there in 1928. Unfortunately the 1925-27 registers were not available at the time this was researched.

In the 1911 census, Sarah is recorded as having had 11 children in her present marriage, of which 4 died. I have found 9 for this marriage (of which 2 are known to have died) and 2 in her previous marriage. Perhaps they misunderstood the question.

During his Army Service, he was awarded the Long Service and Good Conduct Medals.

In the 1891 Census, taken almost 3 months after he left the Army, he stated his occupation as a shoemaker, so perhaps he returned to this for a while. By 1901, and claiming to be 64 years old (actually 62), he stated his occupation as an Army Pensioner.

In 1907, Richard became the Licensee of the The Blacks Head pub in West End, Wirksworth. When he died, his son-in-law John McCreery took over the license.

This was a  league of both sexes among the Conservatives, founded in 1883. So called because primrose was (erroneously, it is said) taken to be the favorite flower of the Conservative statesman Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield.

There is some uncertainty about Mary's date of birth. The 1939 register entry records her dob as 08 Jun 1862, yet she was baptised in Fermoy on the 23 Feb 1862. A date of 08 Jan 1862 has been used but may not be correct. The deaths of Mary and Charles have not yet been found. It's possible that the 1939 register entry is not the correct one but it looked right with his occupation, ages and location.
