I am looking for more information on James A.Ward. and his 2 wives. I know he lived at 4 Grove Mews. Hammersmith. He had large business's and a factory in Hammersmith. but I do not know where? He was also a great benefactor to the late West London Hospital in Hammersmith. Broadway: a large plaque to him was in the main hall: when his wife died he married his housekeeper. he used to take his dog for a walk every evening on the banks of the Thames. one night he and his dog did not return. I would like to know more about this mystery:

I have details of most of these families up to date.
