John Thomas Ford Obituary 1960
« on: Sunday 26 January 25 16:05 GMT (UK) »
Can I please ask if anyone can find the obit for John Thomas Ford, b 1877 Wales.
died Oct 1960 Victoria BC.
I have just picked up on my research after a long break! I can find on Ancestry an obit is listed in the Times Colonist but can't actually find the obit anywhere,
I am also looking for the burial of his widow Nellie his second wife, died 1972
Grateful for any information!
Many thanks
Newbie.

Edit : I have his death vital record. and Burial.
Edit.   Sorry I have only just subscribed to Ancestry again and hadn't checked for anything for Nellie!  she too has an obit listed but I can't see the actual Newspaper for that either.

Many thanks you found them both! 
Wonderful news. I have information about John Thomas from his early time in Canada but nothing much about Victoria. I was trying to find out more about Nellie so that is really great.
thank you for helping me.
