1855 Death of Agnes Mullen, wife of Bernard Ward

I found another generation's information by finding Colin's great great grandmother Agnes (Mullen) Ward's death certificate....

Death certificate of Agnes Mullen, wife of Bernard Ward shows that she was 60 years old when she died on 11th October 1855 at Castle Street, Hamilton.
Burial place is listed as Parish Church yard, Hamilton.
Lists that Agnes had lived in the District of Hamilton for 35 years. This ties in with the Marriage Proclamation of November 1826.....
Agnes was born in Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland circa 1795.
Father was James Mullen, Farmer (deceased in 1855)
Mother was Margaret Mullen, maiden name McLaren.
Death registered by Edward Small, Nephew.

More scanning to do and photos to search for....

It's great now that digital photography has taken over.

So easy just to open a folder and attach a photo.

Most of my older photos containing Graham and Annie Ward and family are upstairs. I need to sort them out and scan some in...... A job for a rainy weekend.


Enjoy what's here for now. Most of them Courtesy of Richard Conway.... and his granny's collection.

My Family! 'The Murrays'.....

Thank you Richard for sending Colin and Sandra the CD with all of the photographs and information on the Ward, Graham and other family ancestry.

Thank you also for the photograph of my Aunt Isobel and Uncle Robert Murray. My Uncle Robert was my Dad's younger brother who died suddenly in 1986 just a few weeks before my wedding to Colin. They lived in Motherwell all of their married life.

The photo shows my Aunt and Uncle on the left - with Richard's mum Jane and dad in the middle of the photograph.
