Mayo / Re: Ford family, left Westport Co Mayo abt 1847
« on: Thursday 19 September 13 06:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Sorry havn't replied sooner couple of late nights at work.
I will write properly at the e-mail address.
I have only fairly recently started to look into my Ford family but find I am getting slightly obsessed with them......
What I do know is they left liverpool and arrived in New York on 25 March 1847 aboard the Finland.
Have to go to work now but should have an earlier finish tonight, so will e-mail when I get home.
Regards
Joanne

Hi, Thanks for the added information about the quota's.
Our Ford's could be related, maybe my Ford's followed family out to Illinois, mine settled in Dixon, have only just just found out that they came from Westport, Co Mayo and I got that infomation from the Lee historical society in Dixon, Illionois who put me in touch with the family.
The Fathers name was Ulick quite unusal, still on with the hunt  :)

Hi Milliepede, thanks for the suggestion but yes, have searched brothers and sisters of Annie and Edward, only 1 grandparent left and they were not with her, interestingly the oldest daughter was living with an aunt but it seems the 3 youngest were with Edward but I know not where ???

Mayo / Ford family, left Westport Co Mayo abt 1847

 Hello, I have just found out that my Ford Family left Ireland around 1847, well my 3 x Gt Grandfather Ulick Ford 1803 - 1883, wife Catherine 1800-1882 (no maiden name known), son Patrick 1820-1852, daughter Mary 1828-1895 arrived in New York aboard the 'Finland' 25 March 1847, then moving on to Dixon in Illinois. I have quite quite bit of info on the family that moved to America, thanks to a wonderful man in Dixon at the heritage center there, However, another son, my 2x Gt Grandfather Richard Ford 1823-1882 went to England, Bradford in Yorkshire where he married Ellen O'Donnell, (also from Ireland) 1833-1891 at the catholic chapel in Bradford Yorks. I do not know why he didn't go with them to America, any suggestions would be gratefully received...
As all the early census records in Ireland have been destroyed is there any way I can find out any information about this family?

Yes, thank you, might sound a daft question but why would so many houses be uninhabited that night, they can't all be night workers....

Thank you, Just looked at Annie Kelletts death cert from 1914, although she died in the workhouse hospital it also gives her usual address as 99 Fairfax Street, Bowling Bradford, I tried an adress search on FindMyPast but there isn't a number 99 on there. Back to the drawing board then.

He was buried in Bowling cemetery, my Grandad kept lots of old papers, thank goodness, so I knew exactly which grave he was buried in. Sadly he was the oldest occupant!! i even have the funeral expenses from 1933.

Although his fathers name is on the burial records, so the family must have known of him, I guess its one brick wall that's not coming down anytime soon.
Thank you for your help though.
