• Notes

  Illegit. Mother unknown. In the will of his grandmother Joan (Tunstall/Warde/Stapelton) it is requested that his father provide for him as follows: "I will that my son, John Warde, gyfe to Roger, his basterd son, x marke, whych x marke he awe me for corn and catall, what tyme as he thinkes most necessary to the said chyld." This Roger, could have had a son born by 1508 and named him after his father John. This John could then have a son by 1528 who could be the John Warde baptized 1518 in Aldborough (near Skelton) who named a son Christopher. He could also have had a son Roger who could be the Roger born abt 1543 who married Cecily Dixon in Bedale in 1564. It has been speculated by other Ward researchers that Roger was the father of Marmaduke Ward of Mulwith. This needs more research. It does not seem likely to me, since Marmaduke was born abt 1552! I'm sure he couldn't have been 80 when fathering Roger!
