I am looking for any descendants of Charles and Renee Ward. I understand there was at least one child but don't know any other details.

There is one child shown as being born in Leicester in 1936 to a Booth/Ward surname combination. If they moved elsewhere there may be others but other Booth/Ward marriages may well account for them

Again using the freebmd site you can find possible marriages in Leicester for the son.

There are births to both those marriages in Leicester.

-------------------------
A copy of Charles' will might yield information - via site (for £10 I think)
