details of Elva Ward - trying to find her later family may throw up unknown details -possibly?

Births Jun 1900 (>99%)
Ward Elva Solihull 6d 660

Deaths Jun 1903 (>99%)
Ward Elva 2 Solihull 6d 327

Births Mar 1906 (>99%)
Ward Elva Solihull 6d 656

Although I can not find a marriage for her so far.

Looking on freebmd, between 1915 and 1925, there are 59 births of children named Ward with MMN Ward in Warwickshire......so how one would find out if any of them were Ellen's.....I'm not entirely sure............

Of course, she may have married before having them.....which only compounds the problem.

thanking you all its hard when there seems to be alot of people with the some name i know that albert edward parents are john ward and lousia ? i found thia in the cenus records they seemed to have a lot of childen maybe abt13. what would this area of aston birmingham have like in the 1900s
