Sarah Ann Ward and her family
Updated 27 August 2011
 

As claims have been made that bushranger Frederick Ward was the son of Sarah Ann Ward rather than the son of her parents Michael and Sophia Ward, it is necessary to document her family in more detail.
    Copies of birth, marriage and death entries/certificates for Sarah's family are shown below. If you can provide copies of additional certificates, contact Me.
