Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 998 Send Message	I am looking for a Harold Sheward and his wife Martha in the Stourport area of Worcestershire. Harold was born c1887 and I think his wife was a little younger. Where did he live? Did he have any children with him? What kind of work did he do? There is some kind of Oxfordshire connection to him also. Thanks Nala.
