Fortune Foord/Ford

[akissling]

I am trying to find the death of Fortune Foord/Ford and her husband Daniel Foord/Ford and maybe a probate record from The National Archives (free or pay). One of them died 27 Nov 1700 (I am assuming it is Daniel or do I have that mixed up?) according to a handwritten record on an index card that I found in a genealogy website.
The record states (in bold):
FOORD als DORRINGTON, Fortune Bow, [Stepney], Mdx.
Her first husband was John Dorrington, mariner, married in 1652, Saint Dionis, Backchurch, London
Ad. to Daniel F., esq., h.
Daniel Foord/Ford is her second husband, married in 1682, St Mary, Marylebone
(Adm. d.b.n. Oct 1704)
27th Nov. 1700
76 219
I think these numbers refer to a probate (maybe an inventory but the main number is missing (e.g. Prob 11).
Does anyone have a suggestions? I did search the archives with various spellings for a probate as well as two genealogy databases without luck for a death or probate record (other than the card found). There are plenty of lawsuits in the archives using their names but no sign of a will for either. Thanks for any suggestions.
A previous discussion I had about Fortune and her father can be found here:

Thanks rosie99! That is the card that I found at the library after my subscription lapsed. Very helpful!

Thanks rosie99. I think this is a different person (maybe a son or some other relative?). When I looked at the will and he names Elizabeth as his wife. There are a few marriages in London in the late 1600s but they are listed as batchelors not widows. I am going to hang on the reference and look further in case there is a connection, so thanks again!

Hello
The couple married at Marylebone 3.3.1682.

Fleetwood Dorrington s of John and Fortune Dorrington baptised 22nd May 1666 St Mary Bromley
Daughter Elizabeth 11 Oct 1668 at Bromley.
Son John 17 Dec 1672 also at Bromley son of Capt John Dorrington and wife Fortune.
Anne 16 Feb 1653 bapt at St Margaret Westminster
Daughter Mary at St Dunstan Stepney bap 26 March 1663 d of John of Wapping Wall mariner and wife Fortune.

Her first husband died at Sea and his Admon is also at the National Archives.

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C5614441
date 17 Feb 1678/9.
There was a disagreement about money with a John Sharpe in 1678 after  her husbands death

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C5203529

And the problems carried on into 1691 when she is in a court case against her husband Daniel Ford
https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C5644938

There is mention on a mortgage of a house rented for 31 years Feb 1678 for Stafford House St Margarets which is for some strange reason at Nottingham Archives.The rent was £52 per year by Viscount Stafford so quite well of.

There is a PCC Will for Fleetwood Dorington son of Fortune now wife of Daniel Forde 18 Feb 1684 which mentions more of the family and his mother as Executrix.

Thank you ciderdrinker for all of this information! I have the same set of children so that helps confirm them for me. Yes, Daniel Ford seemed to be very litigious! Imagine taking your current wife to court! He sued his stepsons as well and included their father's money as well. The reference to Stafford House St Margarets is very interesting! I had found this and it didn't register that Viscount Stafford was on the same document but there he is again in 1678 paying another £52: https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/cc619fd3-cef6-4a0c-8ae0-8f533a3bfcbd.  From what I can see the Dorrington family that Fortune married into came from Stafford and had ties to the family of Viscount Stafford. This must be the same man who was executed in 1680. Not that he is part of Fortune's family but an interesting fact. I just found another reference calling it Tart House, in case anyone is interested. There is a fascinating chapter in a book about female investors from 2014 discussing Fortune's participation in banker's annuities. Maybe this had something to do with it all. In any case, thanks so much for the extra information!
