     He was born circa 15 December 1850, Canada West, United Province of Canada.1,2
     Charles Ward died on 4 February 1851, Canada West, United Province of Canada.1
     Charles Ward was buried on 8 February 1851 at Hilltop Gore Cemetery, Toronto Gore Twp., Peel County, Ontario Canada according to a transcription of an OGS cemetery transcript pg 6-7, no. 75.1
     Charles Ward appeared on the 1851 Canadian Census of Vaughan Twp., York County, Canada West in the household of his parents, Henry and Susan Ward.2
     The following analysis is from my personal research and reflects my attempts to consolidate information from different sources.
It is interesting that Charles was enumerated in the "1851" census, since it was delayed until January 1852. The census was to enumerate people effective Jan 11, 1852. This was after CHarles recorded date of death.
Perhaps the enumerator recorded information for 11 Jan 1851, or the dates from Charles grave marker were off by one year.
Since his mother died in 1856, the grave marker is probably from that time period, and his father's memory may have been like mine, subject to minor errors.3
