Title: FORDs in Wales
Post by: maythree on Sunday 08 March 15 13:21 GMT (UK)

William Ford b 1854
have conflicting records of birth place.  Parents: George Ford and Eleanor (Ellen) Male.

1854 - Shoreditch Middlesex
or
1854 Duxton Pembrokeshire, but Duxton does not seem to be a place in Wales

Can anybody do a birth lookup and census lookup 1861 & 1871

The familys do tend to hop over the border quite a lot from Bristol area

Thanks
