I have found this thread extremely helpful as I had been unable to find details of my gggrandfather George WARD.
This the 1861 Census:
1861 Joyford
George Ward abt 1819 West Dean, Gloucestershire, England Head West Dean Gloucestershire
Amey Ward abt 1823 West Dean, Gloucestershire, England Wife West Dean Gloucestershire
George Ward abt 1858 West Dean, Gloucestershire, England Son West Dean Gloucestershire
Hanah Ward abt 1854 West Dean, Gloucestershire, England Daughter West Dean Gloucestershire
Sarah Ward abt 1850 West Dean, Gloucestershire, England Daughter West Dean Gloucestershire
William Ward abt 1860 West Dean, Gloucestershire, England Son West Dean Gloucestershire

William was my ggrandfather.

My father who died recently told me that there was a BURNS/BYRNE connection but did not know what or where. Now I do apart from why the name was changed!
