He emigrated from Britain in 1859. In 1861 he wrote this series of articles for the Adelaide Advertiser. The articles provide an excellent primary resource for the history of the ownership and establishment of nearly fifty early and significant vineyards of South Australia including Auldana Yealumba sic Clarendon Pewsey Vale and Reynella Farm. Ward presciently opined that South Australia would become "one of the most important wine countries of the world." The articles were then reprinted in pamphlet form and 2000 copies were purchased by the Government for free distribution at the 1862 Great Exhibition in London. Rare in the original scarce in this format.
