Title: Barnett Philip Ford
Post by: gwen j on Wednesday 09 April 14 07:21 BST (UK)

Barnett Philip Ford was born in Kennsington,London UK in 1879 - he was my great uncle. The 1911 UK census has his occupation as architect/surveyor. There are passenger records showing him travelling from UK to SA. A Roots Chat member managed to find reference to him in East London SA in 1964. Can anyone help me with more info on him please?

The only info I can find is that he died aged 88 in East London RSA and was cremated in 1964 - reference 726. Maybe the records held by the Cambridge crematorium will be able to shed some more light. Their add is PO Box 984 East London South Africa 5200 ( They don't have an Email add).

regards
