Is he definitely deceased?

Do you have a middle initial or parents' names for him?

Hi thanks for your message, just getting over the Christmas/New Year's rush here.
this is all the information I have on him unfortunately, I know he emigrated to USA and lived in Philladelphia-but then so do many Fords I understand. James Ford married Bridget Carney on 10.12.1860, I think that Robert was a grandson perhaps, or an Uncle. There were seven children in the family; John, Peter, Michael, James, Patrick, Bernard and Hugh.
Thanks

For privacy reasons, it is against the policy of Roots Chat to post about people who are or may be living.  We use a rough rule of thumb of not posting about people born less than 100 years ago, and it's not clear if this applies to your man or not.  Do you have a date of birth for him?
