The parents of my great-grandmother, Alice Mary WARD<\/a>, were Edwin WARD and Annie Elizabeth Mary WALKER.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwin WARD was born 1 January 1865 in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, England, to Luke WARD & Harriet HARPER. He had eight siblings: Harriet (1863-1950), Jesse (1867-1867), Emily (1870-1941), Luke (1874-1959), Henry William (1878-1919), George Henry (1879-1937), Catherine (1881-1953) and Thomas John (1884-1965).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1873, Edwin & his family boarded a ship, the Woodlark<\/em>, to New Zealand, landing in Wellington on 24 March 1874. They initially settled in Feilding, before moving to Palmerston North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was here that Edwin married Annie WALKER on 22 April 1903, at his father’s house in Fitzherbert Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annie Elizabeth Mary WALKER was born 12 July 1878 in Waikanae on the Kapiti Coast, Wellington, NZ, to John Henry WALKER & Mary Irene Alice OAKFORD. She had eight siblings: James Henry (1874-1942), George Edwin William (1876-1965), Sarah Jane (1880-1956), Florence Amelia (1882-1959), Charlotte Emily (1884-1972), Alice Rebecca (1887-1960), Mary Ann (1892-1963) and Alexander Leonard (1901-1981).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annie & Edwin, known as Ted, had eight children of their own, of which my great-grandmother Alice was the second-born. In November 1906, Ted, a labourer, declared himself bankrupt<\/a>, due to having been ill for the past 4.5 years, through hard work & heavy lifting as well as a lot of family illnesses, and so had been unable to get regular work. They moved to Pahiatua in late 1906 or early 1907, where Ted continued to work as a labourer, before returning to Palmerston North around 1916.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ted died 16 May 1939 and Annie on 19 October 1959, both in Palmerston North, where they are buried in Terrace End Cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
