Australia / Re: Sarah Ann Dolby

I'm a descendant of Sarah Ann Dolby and was always told that I'm related to Madam Sainton-Dolby. I don't have any documentation to confirm this—it's just something that's been passed down through the family. Not sure if that helps or complicates things!

Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / Re: Foord family

Hi, sorry it's taken so long to reply, I didn't know anyone had responded. Please email me at Moderator Comment: email address removed to prevent spam and other abuses. Please use the secure personal message system to share email addresses and other personal material. Thank You

Anyway, I've seen a letter which suggests that the Foords came from Holland in the 1640's and it's been passed down that they moved to Wales and became shipwrecked on the Welsh Coast after they left due to religious movement. Do you know how to find information about shipwrecks in Southern Wales or utch records that may have passenger lists? I can send you the letter if you like.

Over the past couple of months I've been able to track the family down a fair bit further to circa 1651 to a William Foord of Itton. His father probably would have come from Holland if the story's correct. Please email me if you want information about this. I have many official documents, pedigrees, etc and a gedcom file of a few thousand people.

What's your connection with the Foord family? Do you know if there are many related Foords in Wales today?

Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / Foord family
« on: Tuesday 22 February 05 09:29 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have any information on the Foord family from Monmouthshire? My earliest ancestor is John Foord 1715-1775 of Chepstow but there exists a Foord will from 1714.
Apparently the family moved from Holland in the 1640's.
