WARD. My Mother, Uncle and grandparents lived in Parteen around 1925-1940. Their names were Annie, Hugh ,Grace and James Ward. Is there a census or documents that could tell me where they lived in Parteen as I would like to see the former family home. I know that Hugh Ward worked at the Ardnacrusha power plant. Thank you all.

  • No census records have been released for that period.

    Do you know what ages these people were in 1925? where they were born? Names of your mother and her parents?  Any info would assist. Thank you.

  • Spike,

    Irish Civil Registration  www.irishgenealogy.ie  records a marriage of a Hugh Ward in Parteen RC Church on February 2nd 1938. His address is given as Shanakyle, Limerick

    which is across the Shannon river from County Clare. I did not find Shanakyle on the current map for Limerick, but there is a "Shannon Fields" which may be another name for the area. Hugh's father is also named "Hugh" in the record.

    Regards,
