Scotland's People - Document Image, www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, 1851C. There is only one other Ann Ward of close to the right age in the area and she shows up with parents William and Bridget in 1861. This one fits with the Maryhill connection and no parents - we know they were dead by 1858. Could "Ward" be an assumed name?.
