Parents were John FORD, born 1870/1 on Kingston Seymour (Essex) and Annie Eliza COLLINS, born 1875 in Cirencester. George Arthur FORD may have emigrated to Australia in the 1950's. I believe another child (Louisa Annie) was born in 1898 but died the same year. Annie COLLINS married John FORD in April 1897 in Plumstead, Kent. John was a Private in the Essex regiment in 1900. Annie's parents were William COLLINS (born around 1834 in Kingston Seymour, Somerset) and Annie Elizabeth BOND, born around 1852, probably in Cirencester, Gloucester. I have a bit more information on William COLLINS and his first wife, Emma ECOTT who has connections with YAXLEY and FOX, for anyone researching those names. Happy to share what I've found and would like to make contact with any relatives who can shed further light on this family history.
