Hi
I'm trying to trace my gg grandfather Thomas Ford. From census records I have him as being born c.1847 in Cork, Ireland.
Any help greatly appriciated.

My 2xg.grandfather was called Daniel FORD, (occupation Farmer) his son, John, was born in the Kinsale, area Co Cork c .1834.
The other information I have on John FORD is that he migrated across to Newport, Monmouth, Wales, with his wife Mary.. c.1857. They had a daughter, Mary Ann, who was born in Newport in 1857. In 1861 John became a widower, the family were living in Stroud, Gloucestershire by then. John remarried later that year to a girl called Emma COOK, who was born Whiteshill or Randwick, by Stroud, Gloucestershire. Both John and Emma were Tailors by trade, as was John's first wife. I have a photo of Emma COOK, and more info: on her.
Regards,
Jane.

Thanks for replying.
That's very interesting as Thomas FORD on the 1881 census in Bristol, not to far from Newport.
Do you know of anywhere I can find passenger lists from Cork to the South West of England around that time?
