Born 1899 and 1900, respectively, in Woolwich/East Plumstead (Essex or Kent) to John FORD, born 1870/1 and Annie Eliza COLLINS, born 1875 in Cirencester.

George Arthur FORD may have emigrated to Australia in the 1950's. I believe another child (Louisa Annie) was born in 1898 but died the same year.

John FORD was a Private in the Essex regiment in 1900 and married Annie in April 1897 in Plumstead, Kent.

Annie's parents were William COLLINS (b around 1834 in Kingston Seymour, Somerset) and Annie Elizabeth BOND, born around 1852, probably in Cirencester, Gloucester.

Would like to make contact with any relatives of George or Ada who can shed light on family history.
