[rpgpaf]

Hello,
         I am trying to trace my Ford family who lived in Coaley in the 1700 -1800's.the trouble is there are loads of them living there,and i dont know what siblings goes with which family.Are there any parish records online for births and deaths etc ? .The Gloucester records office is 60 miles from where i live.
        Any help would be great.
                        Thanks Pete

Hi,
     Thanks for the reply.
     My 3x great grandad Benjamin Ford b1795 had a father Joseph Ford.The trouble i have there are 3 x Joseph Ford Fathers that could be him.I just cant work out which one.

    The Name Benjamin Ford was my grandads,my great grandads,my great great grandad and my 3x great grandad name.There are two Benjamin Ford marriages in Coaley,one married Elizebeth Bullock in 1717,and the other born about 1775 married Sophia Smith in 1800.

    I am hoping that Benjamin Ford born about 1775 coaley is related to Joseph Ford,its a long shot,but all i have.

    So what i need are the children from Benjamin Ford and Elizebeth Bullock marriage in 1717 and the parents and siblings for Benjamin Ford born about 1775 coaley.

    Any help would be great.
                 Thanks alot  Pete

Pete,

At

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle 
you can search batches of data extracted by the LDS from church records.  I have had a quick squint at Coaley stuff and there are enough Fords  - spelt various ways - to give you quite a headache.

Have a look see, take an aspirin and come back with a date or two and I'll have a look through my 18th C records which include burials.

Regards

Chas

Hi Chas,
             Yes i been though the IGI site,there are loads of the Ford family,that is the main problem,there are too many,also different Ford familys gave there children the same names,which makes it hard to put the familys together.i have to find out which Joseph Ford is the Father for Benjamin Ford b1795 coaley.Yes it does give me a headache.

                      Regards Pete

Pete,

I should have said it earlier but temporarily forget all the data you found in submitted entries in the IGI.  Let's know what's left and where it came from please.

1795 - oh dear.  My records taken from the BT's of Coaley give the following data for that year :- Chritenings (sic!) 20.  Marriages 8.  Burials 13 and Thos Gabb certified it as being "a faithfull extract from Coaley Register".  If that's true there is nothing to be found in the 1795 church register.

Looking for the birth of Ben' Ford in the IGI, he's not there in 1795 so where did that info come from?  Was it a census?  They are not very reliable.

If you note the Source call number for extracted Fords then check the film's content you'll find it shows the BT's so no Ford data was extracted for 1795

Regards

Chas,
         I use the census and IGI to go back to my 3x great grandad Benjamin Ford b1795,i also have his death certificate to confirm his age.also somebody confirmed for me in the Coaley parish records the he was born in 1795 in Coaley,and they also said his parents was Joseph Ford and Anne Shearwood.i also have his siblings.It says hes born in 1796 and 1797 on the IGI site.
