Find Ancestors

I think that I am posting this on the right thread.

If anyone could help me I would appreciate it a great deal.

Clarence George Arthur Ford was born in 1912 at Pear Tree Cottage, Pear Tree Road Hounslow. He died in 1951 as the result of a motorbike accident. in Basingstoke.

Clarence married

Elizabeth Rona Saunders who was born about 1912 Kingsclear Hampshire,

They married in 1929 at Kingsclear Hampshire and had a daughter Rona Ford who was also born in Kingsclear Hampshire in 1930.

I cannot find a death for Elizabeth Rona nor any further details about Rona.

I have tried scouring through the places I can think of, and still cannot find anymore details.

If anyone can help I would be truly delighted.

Kind regards

Bridget in Spain

Maybe wrong as there is a baptism for an Elizabeth Rose Saunders in I of W in 1916

On a tree on Ancestry it says she was age 24 on marriage...It also has her being born 1905 and the refs of the 1915 birth for Elizabeth R Saunders?????But it does not give any date of marriage except the refs..

So might she be Elizabeth Rose and not Elizabeth Rona?

Oh you have all been busy. I stayed by my desk for the first five minutes then the telphone called me, so that took ten minutes. went to the bathroom and came back and all thses messages are here. Should also say I am 1 hr ahead of the UK.
Well thank for the info. I will check my findins=gs again and send another message.

Andy, thank for the death details for my aunt Elizabeth R Ford. not sure why I could not find it.
I have just gone back to Elizabeth and the it is my mistake as I have the same Birth record as you.

Shirley you have found the same as me but I cannot firnd a death or marriage...
Fanny thanks also for your comment on the death as it helps to confirm Andy's entry.
Rutland Rose you are making me think I did not know that the Isle of White came under Hampshire

Please accept my apologie I must now make sure that I put it right on my tree.!!

I have always been told that the name is Rona but hwho knows although I still have a cousin in his late 70s who has confirmed that he always called her Rona as did the rest of the family.

I am out this evening so will not be able to reply to any messages after 6.30 pm English time.
Just in case anyone thinks I am no longer interested.

Have a good eveing everyone
Bridget

Rona could still be alive. as not finding any death record for her up to 2006 . Maybe she was the informant in one or both of her parents death certs ,if so should give her address at that time. A free search on www.192,com comes up with 19 R Ford in Hampshire including a Basingstoke one. She may still be living in the family home.

Shirley,
I never thought of that, how amiss of me. Is their anyway I could find out if she is still there?
I suppose I will have to buy the death cert of her mother and or my uncle. I cannot receive post where I live so will have it sent to my sister in Bath.
Solong since I had to buy cers cannot quite recall what I have to do?

Must go now but will be back Tomorrow.

£9.25p per cert

I would send for the death cert in 1954 Of Elizabeth R Ford in reg district Basingstoke as I think it highly likely it is her ,but that is only my personal opinion of course.

Good morning.
I have now looked up 192 as suggested and found one which I think is the right person. I am going to call the number either today or tomorrow. will let you all know the outcome.

Thank you FannyByGasLight for the info, I shall send for this today and it can be sent to my sister in Bath.

Everyone has been so helpful.

Bestwishes

Hi Bridget

I live in north Tenerife and I get my certificates sent here, there is no extra cost for them doing this. The only problem is that our postal system isn't as good as it could be and we do lose post some times.

Hello Wendy,
How nice to hear from someone else who lives in Spain. We will have been here for eight years in September. I live in Peniscola, midway between Barcelona and Valencia. We chose here because of the history and it is close enough to be able to visit my son and my cousin highly recommended it. The problem is that we live half way up a mountain side and the post office refuse to send letters etc to us and we cannot get a post box in the post office as they are all accounted for. We have got used to it and most correspondence is by email and letters etc go to my sister in the UK.

I shall be ordering the cert tomorrow.

HI Bridget

I understand your problem as some friends od ours live in Casinos, Valencia near to Lliria. According to the computer they are about 74 miles (english calculator) from you. They have a post office box now but had to wait a long time for one to become free.

Good luck with your certificate I hope it is the right one.

I have learnt with our post never to order more that one cert at a time this way you can only lose the one. I worked this out the hard way when I ordered five to come at once and never received any of them!
