Jennifer,
What information are you looking for on John Ewart Foord?  Are you looking for information on him or his ancestors?

All that I can offer on John Ewart Foord is that he is listed on the memorial of WWI dead in Christchurch (see http://www.xpeastbourne.org and then "search this site" for Foord.

Regards
