On the 1951 Census for John Ward it says he lived with his wife Sarah, Mother in Law Mary Suffork Daughter Mary Ward and also is son, However his sons name appers to be Joesph Mara does anyone have any clue why it might say this? Also if anyone could read the occupation of John and Sarah for me it would be a big help, Thanks

Presume you mean 1851? Can we have a birth year for at least one of the people you mention.......... Is the county Suffolk? It would be easier if you'd copy & paste the census info............. Reg
