Great range, both in looks and works, the only problem, it did not come with a broiler pan, now I...

this is Anne Baldwin. My great grandfather was James Ward, born 1853 in or around Clifden, Galway and possibly Kingston Glebe. Not sure how close they are to each other. James had siblings, Catherine born c. 1856 , 1858 . She and James went to the US right around 1872. They remained there all their lives. Another sister was Anne Ward and she remained in Ireland all her life and married Martin Mullen. To this day, there are remaining descendants in Clifden of the Mullens.. I have found a possible father and mother to James and his sisters. Thomas Ward born late 1700's and his wife Elizabeth 'Betty' Davin. I have a death date for Thomas Ward of 1866. Any Wards out there ? I have done the dna test with Ancestry. Anne Baldwin

Kingstown Glebe townland is eight kilometers northwest of Clifden town.

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and used Thomas Ward and Elizabeth Davin as the mother and located three baptismal records for Elizabeth Mary, Thomas and Judith. Note the comments for Thomas indicate he was ten years old when baptized?

I was unable to locate a marriage record for Anne Ward and Martin Mullen.

Hi Roger  Thank you for your very rapid reply.  I do believe you have located my Wards.  Now I have something to work with because I recognize the names of the siblings.  I also included a letter to Matthew Davin regarding his family in the same text, I think.  You had also responded to him and I am trying to reach him as u can read per my text.  Anne Baldwin USA
