Hi
   My name is Dennis Ford, I originate from Bolton-on-Dearne in South Yorkshire but have lived in Oz for the last thirty something years.
   I am researching my ancestors mainly from south York’s’ with few known exceptions apart from the Halls from Wiltshire.
   On my maternal grandparents side I have a modicum of information, the names I am interested in are Sales, Beech, Platts, Rotherforth, Peat, Proctor, Parkin, Daykin and Nightingale (possibly Florence’s family). Towns and villages of interest are Harthill, Wales, Woodhouse Mill, Thorpe Hesley and Whitwell.
   Unfortunately due to my parents seperating when I was a child  I have very little on my paternal side apart from the names of Dixon, Baines and of course Ford.
    The names I can give are as follows
My Dad          Jeffrey Ford       lived Bolton on Dearne And Goldthorpe
His siblings    George Ford      policeman ( I think at Shipley)
                      Mary Ford          lived near Wakefield
                      Fred Ford           Habitual criminal
                      William Ford       Miner - Bolton on Dearne
                      Jimmy Ford         Musician
                      Nellie Ford         Lived Thurnscoe
                      Ron Ford            Miner Darfield

Their parents were William Henry Ford and Annie Baines

Their Grandparents Jacob and Annie Ford

                               Henry and Eliza Baines

Thier ggp's              Joseph Baines and Emma Dixon

     As stated earlier I don't have much, but the proximity of Bolton and Wath lend some chance of a possibility, so if any of this makes sense please reply
                                     Denn

Hi I'm Carrie Ford. Daughter of Fred Ford. I still have connections with George Fords family who still live in Shipley and remember Ron, Mary, Nellie, Jimmy and William (and Elsie) well. I have my dads mum and dads wedding photo and photos of Nellie, Mary, Elsie, and plenty of Uncle Bills garden which was his pride and joy.

I used to love my grandad bills garden. There are pics of me as a baby on sun lounger in the garden. I used sit on the ornamental deer on patio lol. I remember Toby the dog too he used to follow my grandad everywhere. Nanan Elsie passed in May 03 I think it was my daughter was just 6 month old. God I miss them so much

[Carriew1]

Me too!! I'm pretty sure somewhere in the photo box from my mums there's newspaper clippings from when he won some competition or another! I'll try and dig it out. I vaguely remember uncle bill dying and auntie Elsie coming for visits after. My dad died 93. I'm sure he used to tell me there was 10 children all in all. All of the above and a few infant deaths. Two of them were twins and buried with his mum in an unmarked grave in Bolton xx

Hi Carrie I have just sent you an email.

It's great to hear about the Ford family because I knew so little about them as Mum and Dad split up when I was very young.

Hi think my dad has got there trophy and photo for them wining gardener of the year. I still live in bolton upon dearne. Think our family maybe last few of us still here. It's not changed much. My dad Derek days hi to you and Dennis. I have got some really happy memories of my grandad n nanan and Toby. I loved that grumpy old dog. Bill and Elsie used used to look after me a lot with being youngest and only being at school half days and mum dad were at work. If I am correct I'm sure grandad had an allotment  near his house xx
