Edward Ward of Little Wratting, Suffolk, England married Judith Lukyn. They had nine children of which the baptism and / or marriages have been found for many. Lydia Ward baptized 4 Nov 1593 in Little Wratting, Suffolk, married on 30 Aug 1620 in St, Stephen, Ipswich, Suffolk, England to William Markham, who was buried 8 JUL 1624 in Woolverstone, Suffolk. Their son William Markham bp 3 MAY 1621 in Woolverstone, Suffolk immigrated to New England and is an ancestor of an american president. Lydia did not marry anyone named Browne. Susan Ward did indeed marry Robert Browne and they lived in Ipswich, Suffolk. When she referred to her brother in-law she was referring to her husband's brother not her sister's husband.”….
