Hi,
 I am also a descendant of George Henry [James T Ford 1852 ] Saward, our branch of the family went to Tasmania, where George Henry Saward married Rachel Ann Williams  their daughter Mary Anne Saward married Henry Thorpe [Thornton] Smith, my maternal great grandfather.I came across you when I was trying to find out why the [James T Ford 1852] was in George Henry Saward's name.
I live in New Zealand.

Hey Noeline, 

The James T Foord refers to the name of the sailing ship George Henry Saward was on when he immigrated to Australia.

If any one could help me please I would be extremely pleased to hear from you.  I am directly related to Charles Saward and Ellen Grace Benson. 

Not sure if anyone is still using this blog???

Hi littlemo25,

Sorry to say I cannot help you, my research and interests in the Saward name finishes at 1755 with the marriage of my ancestors Ann Saward and William Smith.  Going back in time with the Sawards has been frustrating and I'm still in the same position as I was when I made my last post on this topic, 21 Jan 2011.

Regards.

Hi!

Thank you so much forgetting back to me.  I wasn't sure if I would hear from anyone as I haven't used this site before.

Oh well...... back to the drawing board.  Good luck!
