Preview:From the family history records, I have found out that my Great Great Grandfather, Ralph RAWARD 1771-1833, was born in Paull, Yorkshire and died in Brighton (non-conformist records).
First a brief history of what we have. A Ralph RAWARD was born in 1771 in Paull, Yorkshire to a Richard ROWARD (there are many ways of spelling the name). Richard was a tailor (I have found records of his taking apprentices into the 1790's). There is also a Ralph RAWARD born in Lincolnshire several years later. According to our family records & legends, Ralph was a tailor and his wife Jemima (Dedemiah) SAWYER a tailoress.
