If you apply for the certificate for the Sarah Mason listed above in 1843 specifying you only want it if the spouse surname is Ward you may find it is the right one.
It is not unknown for a name to be missing from the original indices and as I said it looks as though there is one male missing and that 1843 marriages are completely transcribed onto freebmd.

Just the free BMD. I am kind of new at this so do not know where else to look. I have a paid sub to ancestry.co.uk but that is only one I have invested money in .

from family search:
Frederick Ward
Birth: 1822 Norfolk, Lynn, Stafford, England
Marriages:
Spouse: Sarah Mason
Marriage: 1843 Lynn Norfolk


from freebmd:
Marriages Mar 1843
COCK Diana Kings Lynn 13 292
EASTER Sarah Ann Kings Lynn 13 292
Ellis William Kings Lynn 13 292
LEASBY Frederick Kings Lynn 13 292
>>>MASON Sarah King's Lynn 13 292

there is one more female listed than male so Fred Ward could have been missed in the original indices

Christine and Doris,

That is indeed them . William Ward is the direct ancestor of my other half however I just cannot find where (and if) frederick and Sarah got married. Maybe they did the modern thing and lived together.

Thank you for taking the time to help
