In 1901 there were 785 census entries for New Brunswick, representing about 10% of those in Canada.

In Find A Grave, New Brunswick has twice the density of Wards compared to Canada, USA or globally but slightly less than England.

Many were descendants of Nehemiah Ward (abt.1740-abt.1827) or his brother Jonathan Ward (1738-1827) who both arrived about 1760 in what was then Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Nehemiah was in Sackville, Westmorland County and Jonathon was in Pointe du Bute, Westmorland County, about 16 kilometres (10 miles) distant. Currently Nehemiah has 6,628 descendants in Wikitree. Jonathon has 1,088. Jonathon likely has significantly more than that in Utah alone.

Other immigrants were:

Ebenezer Abraham Ward (abt.1763-aft.1840) settled in Gloucester County. 40 descendants.

Robert Ward (1808-1894) Founder of Ward Settlement, Stanley, York County. 97 descendants.

William Ward (1798-1847) settled in Burton, Sunbury County. 3 descendants

George Ward (1822-1914) 7 descendants

Edward William Ward (1872-1926)

Frank Ward (abt.1865-1939) 12 descendants
