George FORD christened Ashford 14 Aug 1834
« on: Saturday 02 November 13 16:01 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone please check for me the name of his father on the original record? Familysearch has Samuel, Kent FHS data on findmypast has Isaac. I suspect it is actally James. Both have mother Susannah.

Thanks in advance

John

A transcription of Ashford parish records is available on the KAS website

http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/01/ASH/01/00.htm

I can see an Alfred son of James and Susannah FORD baptised in 1804 but no George.  :-\
You may also need to look at the spelling FOORD.

However

Another online transcription lists George FORD son of Isaac (a labourer) and Susannah of Ashford 14th August 1834.

What a mess!

I am afraid the Ashford transcript maybe wrong. I have data from RG4 for Alfred, born 3 Apr chr 24 Jun 1832, Lady Huntingtons Chapel.

14 Aug 1834 ( the Ashford records date for Alfred) is the same date IGI & FindMyPast have for George.
