Hi, just wondered now that I have input my all the great information on my tree I realise that the furthest back I have on the Ward side is Albert John Ward (my great grandfather) dob 1877. How can I go further back than this please?

Also is there any information on the deaths of my great granparents Albert John Ward and Alice Stevens please?

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who has been replying to my thread. Sorry to sound dim but I don`t really know what all the names are - are they relatives of my father.
He was Albert Reginald Ward and his father was Leslie Ward and his mother was Mary.
I am a complete novice at this as you can tell!
I am also a technophobe which doesn`t help either :(

I apologise in advance if I am doing the wrong thing or writing in the wrong place

I have the disc for Bledlow......

The Stevens family :

Baptism 31 Oct 1880 Alice daughter of Frederick & Mary Ann STEVENS, Labourer

Marriage 29 Mar 1880 by Banns
Frederick STEVENS, aged 20, Bachelor of Bledlow Ridge, Chairmaker son of Thomas Stevens, Labourer
Mary Ann X EUSTACE, aged 19, Spinster of Bledlow Ridge daughter of John Eustace, Chairmaker
Witnesses John Stone Jane Smith


The records for Bledlow Ridge begin at the end of the 1860's. Bledlow Ridge came out of the parish of Bledlow - there are many records available online - right back to the 1500's but no sign of the 1850/60s. :-(

Hope this helps. Cx
