Colin Report 1 Feb 2008 12:04

My Great Grandfather was Joseph Ward who married Mary D McIntyre.
My Grandfather was Colin McIntyre Ward born 1870 and died 22 Oct 1950 in Paisley, Renfrewshire. His address at time of death was 97 Candren Road, Paisley. He was married to Annie McCombes.
I think they had 13 children my father was one of their sons Robert Ward born 27 Oct 1908 I also know that they had a son called Colin and two daughters called Jane McCombes Ward and Alice McCombes Ward.
If anyone can help would love to hear from them.
