Welcome to this special page of our Ward family Website.

 

Here we have listed a few Monumental Inscriptions and Obituaries for the WARD family surname, many of these are not related to our Ward family, but there may be some here that will be of interest to you in your own research.

If you happen to have any monumental inscriptions or even obituaries for the Ward family name, I would be happy to list them on this new page of our Ward Family Website, please send me the details by using the Contact Us link.

Now we truly hope that you will find this page of use, and we are 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

We now have many photo's of headstones from the Rowlands Church Cemetery, Summerseat, Lancashire. Click Here

These transcriptions are from the Greenwood Cemetery in Belmont, NC.

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.
