Help to locate what became of Frank Thomas Ford

[Westy11]

Frank Thomas Ford, son of William Ford and Elizabeth Alberta Carrick was born in 1888 Ticehurst, Sussex, England.

In 1915 - 1919 he was an Army Chaplain in England. 

Frank took the US Oath of Allegiance 20 June 1924.

I am hoping to find out what became of Frank.

Frank Thomas FORD, who was baptised in Ticehurst on 3rd of June 1888, son of William and Elizabeth Alberta FORD - was not born in 1888. It looks as if he was a toddler, when he was baptised:

His birth was registered in Dec Qtr 1886, Ticehurst Registration District, mms: CARRICK.

He was, I think, a Clerk in Holy orders?


Frank Thomas FORD who took the oath of allegiance in the USA ...
...is a different man. He was born on 10th February 1887 in Seaford, Sussex and his mother's maiden name was  TILLER.

In 1917, he was a Tinsmith living in Richmond, Virginia, who stated he had  immigrated to the US in 1904, married to a New York born woman named Alice Louise and had 2 children. Between his Declaration of Intent in 1917 (to become naturalised) and the final step when he was accepted and sworn in 20 June 1924, his wife died.

I can see from Google Books that he is listed in 1957 Crockfords but I can't get to a complete snippet.

Cheating on Google Books snippets (search for full quotes plus *********, e.g. "I. of Foster w Bondville**********" to shift the snippet view along) from Crockfords 1957 gives:

R. of Rawdon 1939-32 (1930-1932, I suppose, OCR miss?)
I. of Foster w Bondville 1932-1933
C. of Kippax 1933-35;
P.C. of Selside 1935-39;
R. of Nurstead w lfìeld 1945-51;
Perm. to Oflìc. Dios. Roch. and Chich. from 1951.
17, Nelson Crescent, West Clif, Ramsgate, Kent.

A possible death for him would be the 1959 death in Tonbridge district - aged 72.
