Hello everybody, and welcome to this page of our Ward family Website.

Here we have listed a few Monumental Inscriptions that we have copied from the headstones of some of our relatives, as well as from those with the same surname’s that we are researching, but as yet have not linked to our ancestors, there may be some here that will be of interest to you in your own research.

At present we have listed a few from Bury Cemetery, Ramsbottom Cemetery, also Windleshaw Cemetery, and St. Helens Cemetery, all being in Lancashire, UK.

NOTICE

We have just added a new page to this section that lists M I's and obituaries for the Ward family name, I would like to thank Anita for sending these details to me, and I would be happy to list more. So if you happen to have any monumental inscriptions, or obituaries for your Ward ancestors that you would

 like to be placed on this site, then please use the Contact Us button to send me details.

Here are links to the surnames included in this section FORREST, GERRARD, LEYLAND, MARSH, PICKAVANCE, PLATT, WARD and WOLFENDALE.

Now we truly hope that you will find this page of use, and we hoping that over the coming months we can add more inscriptions on this page.

 

After here, why not visit the following new page we have added

NEW Our Photo Gallery of Headstones Here we have made up a photo gallery

 of headstones, as we have just started to take  photo's of headstones when we have visited some cemeteries looking for some of our relatives graves. I do plan to expand this area of our site, and we will be adding more photo's over the coming months.
