I have a medal record for Thomas Ford/e who was in the Warwickwshire Regt as a private. He was in from 1901-17, left because he was wounded.  He was also in the Labour Corps for that reason.  I am hoping that this is my grandfather because the dates all fit in with the details we have.  I'm just wanting to verify this before I attempt to get to Kew for his full record.
Does anybody have any information at all that may verify this.  He was born around 1873 in Ireland.

Thanks for looking, but last night I found a website stating Robert Main as Macrow and still living in Tasmania.  He married 3 times and died there, which blows everything I had found in the last few weeks away.  My Robert Main married here and had eight children, all born in Norfolk.  Oh well, now I'm stuck again.

Thanks again

I am hoping someone can find Robert Main b1850 in the records somewhere.  He was born in Great Cressingham, Norfolk. His parents Judd Macrow and Marianne Maine emigrated in 1857 with four children on the Southern Eagle. I am hoping that his name will appear on the list. He had his mothers name, as did his brother William, though Judd was names as parent on their birth record. If Robert did go to Tasmania with them, he came back here and married my great grandmother.
He is on our census records from 1881 again.  I wouldn't like to think he was left behind, but it's looking that way, because there's an R M registered in 1861 as an orphan aged 9.  Hope somebody can help.  Apparently Judd and Marianne settled on Mount Pleasant, Don.Penguin wherever that may be.

Roscommon / Ford - Roscommon
« on: Tuesday 21 March 06 23:02 GMT (UK)  »
I have been looking for many years, without success, for anything at all about my grandfather, Thomas Ford/e.  He was apparently born in Roscommon in 1873.  He left there and moved over to England when he was 14-18 according to what he told my mam and uncle.  He was apparently in the army, but we have no army number although he did receive two medals through the post, also missing.
My mam has nothing of his, not even a photo. Neither has her brother.
Thomas Ford/e met and married my grandmother Ethel Main around 1917, and they moved to Newcastle where he worked at Vickers Armstrongs, the shipyard.
He went back to Ireland once, in army uniform, and his dad chased him, throwing hot water over him, because of the uniform.  I have tried the Coldstream Guards, where he went to meetings in Newcastle, and they have no record of a Thomas Ford/e.
I found a Thomas Ford on FamilySearch born in 1863 in Roscommon, which would make him 10 years older than he said.  Apart from that, I'm at the end of my tether.  He just didn't want anybody to know his family or past, very peculiar.  Hope somebody can help
