Wednesday 30 December 1840 Worcester Chronicle:
IN THE INSOLVENCY OF JAMES WARD.
WHEREAS by Indenture, bearing the date the Twenty-sixth day of December instant, between JAMES WARD, of Kidderminster, in the County of Worcester, Currier, and JOHN ROGERS, of Kidderminster aforesaid, Tanner, of the second part, and the several Persons whose names and seals are thereunto affixed, or who shall assent to the said Deed as therein mentioned, Creditors of the said James Ward did assign, transfer, and set over unto the said Robert Allies and John Rogers, their Executors, Administrators, and Assigns, all and singular the Stock in Trade, Household Furniture, Debts, Monies, and all other, the personal Estate and Effects of the said James Ward, in trust, nevertheless, for the benefit of the Creditors of the said James Ward, who shall execute or assent in writing to the said Deed within two calendar months from the date thereof. Notice is therefore hereby given that the said Deed of Assignment is now lying at the Office of the undersigned MR. WILLIAM BRINTON, Solictor, Park Butts, in Kidderminster aforesaid, for execution by the Creditors of the said James Ward. All persons who are indebted to the said James Ward are not to pay the amount of their respective debts except to whom the Trustees shall appoint to receive the same on their behalf. Dated this 26th day of December, 1840.
WM. BRINTON,
Solicitor to the said Trustees.
- ↑ Reasons for doubt whether James was a son of Joseph:
-A record of James' baptism confirming the names of his parents has not been found.
-James is not named in Joseph's will.
-That would make James a first cousin of his wife.
Reasons for supposing he was a son of Joseph:
-Some of Joseph's children seem not to have been mentioned by name in his will. Joseph's will mentions his "son John and other my children." And a contemporary newspaper account of Joseph's death referred to "his family, which is numerous."
-James was a currier, as Joseph had been.
-According to the censuses, James was born in Kidderminster in about 1803 or 1804, and Joseph and Susannah were having children there at this time.
-One of Joseph's sons married one of James' wife's sisters, so a marriage between children of these two families was very plausible.
