William Ford
« on: Tuesday 02 April 19 16:04 BST (UK) »
William Ford born 1860 Bristol, parents Frederick and Ann Ford.  On the 1881 census William age 22 is living at home with his parents and siblings, occupation Boot Riveter. On the 1891 census William is married to Bella born 1863(c) They have 4 children, Elizabeth b 1881,Julia b 1886, William b 1888 and Samuel E b 1891.
On the 1901 census, Bella is now called Isabella.  No sign of Elizabeth and Julia is now Juliet.  A few more siblings Isabella b 1893, George b 1895 and Flora b 1897.

I found a marriage on FreeBMD between a William Ford and Isabella Henesy in 1881 Bristol.  Now the problem I have been searching the birth reg on the GRO Record site for the children.

No birth reg for Elizabeth but in 1881 found a Isabella Hensey b 1863, although it does not give the age of the child but sounds like a baby called Elizabeth Hensey.

Both Julia and William's birth reg show the mother is Lines

Samuel's birth reg gives the mother's surname as Hennessy, the other 2 children I cannot find their reg

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you for your help. Now let me get my head around this.  Isabella was born a year before her parent's marriage and she kept the surname Henesey/Hennessy, but used the surname Lynes when Julia and William were born reverting back to Henesey/Hennessy when Samuel was born.  Would be interesting to find George and Flora's birth reg.

There are quite a few William Fords born around 1860 in Bristol, on FindMyPast 1881 census William's parents are Frederick and Ann, the reason I think I am correct is although William took up a different occupation the rest of the family, that is Uncles and Aunts worked in the gardening trade, and Frederick was also a gardener.
