Title: MONK, John Arthur (FOORD Family)
Post by: denniskelly on Saturday 12 February 05 01:28 GMT (UK)
Seeking help in finding relatives of John Arthur MONK (b: 10 Feb. 1912 - Hastings Sussex) in the U.K. or Canada.  John was a home child who came to Canada via the Liverpool Sheltering home in 1923.  His grandfather, Jesse FORD (Spouse - Maria Georgina HARMER) and two uncles came to Canada between 1901 and 1914.  Jesse was believed to be in the Quebec City area as late as 1923.  Uncle Herbert FOORD was believed to be in Montreal during period 1930 - 1953.   Uncle Arthur Douglas FOORD went to Winnipeg and married there in 1915.  His brothers Henry James MONK (registered as FOORD), and George Frederick MONK also came to Canada in 1920.  Henry James died near Vancouver 8 May 1949.  George Frederick MONK (a.k.a. FOORD) died Duncan British Columbia 15 June 1996.   

Any help or information greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi Dennis

I noticed that you did not get any replies to your query?

Do you have further information fron any other source.

Looking at the children of Aaron & Ellen in your list, it appears there are at least 2 missing as the 1861 census shows the following:-

RG9/ 559/ Folio 58/ Page 11 - Red Lake, Ore

Mary Catt, 68, born Brede, Sussex, Mother-in-law - Wife of Bricklayer
Aaron Foord, 41, born Battle, Sussex, Head - Sawyer   
Aaron Foord, 5, born Ore, Sussex, Son.   
Ellen Foord, 38, born Ore, Sussex, Wife - Laundress    
Ellen Foord, 14, born Ore, Sussex, Daughter.   
Francis D Foord, 5 months, born Ore, Sussex, Son.   
Jesse Foord, 7, born Ore, Sussex, Son.   
Mary Ann Foord, 12, born Ore, Sussex, Daughter.   
Sarah E Foord, 2, born Ore, Sussex, Daughter.   
William S Foord, 10, born Ore, Sussex, Son.

hi Dennis

I notice there is possibly some FOORDS missing that are included in the 1891 census for Hastings

Do you have / or have you followed the Foords, Harmer, Monks etc through the English Census returns; or do you want me to do it for you.

Thank you for your offer of help, greatly appreciated.   I think that Mr. Monk (home child) is satisfied with the information provided to him at the moment.  We are waiting on a certificate from England at the moment.

Any additional info from census would be greatly apprecited.  Thanks.

Thank you for your interest and info.  Greatly appreciated.  I will pass it on as I am no longer looking at the Foord line.  Mr. Monk who lives near Ottawa Ontario, a home child, is happy with the information that he has received from local volunteers resarchers who are looking into the home children.

  Welcome to Rootschat!  Not sure if you will get an email address as the person who originally posted was doing it on behalf of another person. They specified this and also asked me to post again that they were satisfied with the information they had, and perhaps did not want to share anything further.   Please do not post your email info on here or anywhere online as you'll be spammed extensively.
  Having said that...you can likely hijack this thread for your own unless you'd like to begin your own thread regarding your searches. Being that there is a start on this thread, and to avoid repetition...I'm suggesting you post all queries regarding your grandfather on this thread. All the best!   J.J.
