Hello,

I'd be interested to know if anyone has any connections to the Ward family of Swinton who set up Ward and Sons (Swinton) Ltd. I'm having trouble finding the correct William Ward, founder in 1874, in the census. My greatgrandmother was a Ward from this branch and my grandfather used to manage the bottling plant for most of his life. I have lots of historical photos of the works and staff if anyone would be interested (although they're currently in storage with my uncle)!
Also researching Firth, Curtis and Bell families in the Swinton/Mexborough area.
