Janis Report 5 Oct 2016 15:34

Hi everyone, i am new here and am researching my father's line of FORD. I know my grandfather was William Charles Ford, originally a seaman from Woolwich. He was born in 1893 and died in 1958. He was living in Mortimer Rd, East Ham, London when he passed away. He was married to Amelia Redman.
His father, my great grandfather, also a William Charles Ford was liviing at 12 Dock Street, North Woolwich when my grandfather married in 1918. His own wife was Elinor.
So that is ll i can find; would love birht dates etc or just any Ford info relating to the Fords of Woolwich or East Ham,
Many kind thanks and i thank you for your time
Janis Ford
