WARD, Margaret
1782 - 1854 (71 years)-
Name WARD, Margaret Birth 30 Sep 1782 Grinton,Yorkshire (North Riding), England 
- I have no source for this birth date. I have only taken it from other Ancestry trees. I have searched for a baptism record but it appears there is none in existance. In the 1841 census she says she was born in Yorkshire, and her age is 55 which would put her birth as 1786 not 1782.. In the 1851 census she says she was born in Grinton Yorkshire and her age is 68, putting her birth at 1783, so more research needed. However, she does fit into William and Anna's family very well, since they were married in January of 1782 but if Margaret is not their child then they had no children until September 1784 which is not very likely. Also, Margaret and James Cooper's naming pattern fits with Margaret's father being a William.
Also if she is a daughter of William Ward and Anna Coates it makes sense she was named Margaret since Anna's mother was Margaret.
Gender Female Death 5 Jan 1854 Downholme, Yorkshire (North Riding), England - Buried in Grinton.

Notes - It is possible that this Margaret is somehow connected to Thomas Ward who had a daughter Jeney Ward born in 1797. The record says Jeney, daughter of Thomas Ward of Marrick. Since Margaret and her husband James Cooper are the toll gate keepers at Marrick in the 1841 and 1851 censuses, it makes sense.
