All the info. you have listed I have.What info. I want is any info. on the family when they lived in Canada.Lewis Bamsey Ford was my Granmothers brother.He died 1944 according to my Gran's
Bible.But Ada Ford Was Still alive in 1950's as my Mother used to keep in contact with her,she lived in Toronto,at 105,Gates Ave.
But never heard from the Children the last Fred was Born in
Toronto in 1911. Also Lewis 's Sister emigrated to Canada in
1917 she was called Elsie Kate Ford but was known as Kate.
She married a Canadian whose sur name was Brittian, as far as I can tell they had one daughter called Gladys she later married
a John Burns they lived in Melrose Ave,Verdun,Montreal.Kate died
about 1960-68 was then in contact wlth Gladys until 1970's then
nothing.Any idea how I can get info.
