Thank you for your help. I did visit the historical society and came up
with nothing. I did manage to get a copy of a marriage license docket that
made no reference to a father Edward however i later requested a certified
copy from the Commonwealth of PA and it was there that the notation was
made..I can scan a copy if it helps. I thank you so much for your help.

>>I am researching and hit my brick wall with Edward WARD. He was born in
>>Cherry Ridge and was raised in Texas Township in Wayne County. He was
>>born
>>around 1876 in Cherry Ridge. He married Maud Jessie ALBERTY in 1901. I
>>have found a record of that. They together owned property located at
>>Carley Brook Rd. in the township of Oregon, Wayne Cty, PA. I have deed
>>abstracts. It is my belief that Edward may have been raised in the
>>household of Thomas HERD. He appears on the 1880 census with Thomas and
>>his family and is listed as the grandson. In 1900 he is listed by himself
>>but still in Texas Township. I cannot locate a death date for him and
>>search records have been futile. In 1944 he was still living in Oregon
>>and
>>in 1949 when his daughter passed away he is not surviving. I tried to do
>>a
>>search for these years in between but no hits. On the marriage record,
>>dated 1901 It states that consent of parent or guardian of minor was
>>Edward Ward, father. The Edward I am seekin!
>> g was 25 years old at the time he was married and his wife Maude was 28.
>> I cannot find either Edward. Any ideas or help of any nature is greatly
