Looking for Wards possibly in Roscommon

Hi,

I have hit a brick wall researching my Moms Irish ancestry. Any help would be greatly appreciated! My Grandpa was William Ward Born in the US 1911 to Ambrose F Ward ( B 1884- D1950)and Kate Loiuse Schollard ( B 1883-D1970). They had Catherine Ward ( B 1909- D 1910), Ambrose Robert Ward Jr ( B 1909-D 2000), Joseph Ward ( B 1916 -D2003), and Ermine E Ward ( B 1918 - D 2000). My Great Grandpa Ambrose Ward had the following siblings Josephine Ward, Randolph Ward, Genevieve Ward, and Edward Ward. Their parents were Martin Ward and Genevieve Carroll ( they were both born in Ireland). Martins parents were Michael Ward and Mary Donnellan, they had the following children Catherine Ward, Jane Ward, Thomas Ward, Michael Ward, Maria Ward, John Ward, Margaret Ward, Patrick Ward, and Mary Ward. MichaelWards parents might be Danelis Ward and Catherinae Mackin. Potentially from Drum, Roscommon. Any help figuring out my Ward ancestry will be greatly appreciated!!!! Sincerely, Dawn

Thank  you! This information has been very helpful!! Where were you able to get this information? Could you point me in the direction of where to get marriage information on Mary Ward, Thomas Ward, Michael Ward, John Ward, and Eleanor Ward? Is there a possibility there was a brother Patrick Ward? I have found possible records of Michael Ward marrying a Mary Donellan and having the following children Michael Ward about 1850, Martin Ward about 1852, John Ward about 1855. I have conflicting info on wether they were born in Ireland or the US.

Sincerely, Dawn

Hi again! There is also a possibility that Michael Ward and Mary Donellan had a daughter Margaret Ward about 1857, a daughter Maria Ward around 1855, and a son Patrick Ward around 1862.  Thank you again for any help you can give me. Sincerely, Dawn

Hi Dawn, I'm also looking at Wards in Roscommon. I don't have the same names as you though. I'm looking at Anne daughter of Charles. They were tinsmiths (travellers). Were your family travellers?
