Do you have the names of the 17 children?

Yes the gene for red hair is recessive so it can appear in later generations out of the blue (no pun intended) if the partner also has the recessive gene.

There are 3 boys enlisted with next of kin as Fred Ford; they are Poziere Albert b. 1916 Tas, James Hy b. 1910 Vic and Wm b. 1916 Vic...

FORD WILLIAM : Service Number - V77531 : Date of birth - 24 Dec 1916 : Place of birth - COLLINGWOOD VIC : Place of enlistment - WESTGARTH VIC : Next of Kin - FORD FRED

Could it be??? It is only 7 months after Poziere was born - or did he lie about his age on his enlistment to make himself seem younger?

No that is this Wm:

Surname: FORD
Given Names: Wm
Event: B
Father: Fred
Mother: Ruth AYRES
Birth Place: CWOOD
Year: 1916
Reg. Number: 28701

Maybe change your title to add Tas lookup please - I know some have the disks for Tassie on GR.

Mind you Fred & Ruth also had a son named Fred in DANDENONG in 1914!!! And daughter Ethel May in 1919 in Collingwood...Ruth died in Collingwood in 1925 aged 41.

Coincidence??

HELP:- perhaps if any one has birth cert for Tasmania
I believe Fred and Mary Anne's three children could have been born in Tas
Mary Alice Ford born 1915 Burnie Tas
Poziere's Albert or vice versa Ford Tas 1916
William Ford 1813 Tas
All help appreciated, seems this family had lots of secrets??? every body believed them, with out the facts , hope some one can help regards Di

Hi funny you say that about Sean, I have a son who has red hair and another grand son to another son who has red hair, might be because Fred had red hair will ask my mother in law.
Yes that is correct, she had 17 living, but we found in a bible two more kids names, they must have died before birth????
On my mother in laws birth cert they state they were married in Melbourne on 0th Mar 1909, the way am thinking Mary Anne had James to Unknown, then had the next two to Patrick Long, went to Tasmania and met Frederick and had the rest of the children with him claiming them all as Freds????? family was told theyhad the first three in Tasmania?? brings to mind "Oh what a tangled web we weave" have not mentioned any of this to Mother In Law, she was upset at me even thinking something was wrong with the marriage claim, just have to look for marriage cert!!! Much appreciate your researching skills and time regards Di

information I have found is that Frederick and Mary were married in Tasmania....but I do not have anyway of checking that, the Cd I have only goes to 1905, if you can get someone to check for you.

my son Sean has red hair and we call him Paddy!

also information found is that they had 17 children, is that correct?

does your mother-in-law have her birth certificate?

Thank you Cupcakes, i know the graves have them both there, I have visited them with my Mother In Law, Fred and Mary Anne are her parents, I am very interested in the marriage of Mary Anne and Patrick long??? funny enough Mary Anne had a sister Sarah who married a Thomas Bence.
Just had a visit from a cousin in law, she said her Uncle was nicked named Paddy!!! why would a Frederick have a nick name of Paddy???
I just have to get the marriage certificate of Fred and Mary Anne they were supposed to have been married 9th Mar 1909 in Melbourne Victoria
Seems research is telling me they both had marriages before their union, and not divorced them, my mother in law is only one of three kids left and she is the youngest.
Thank you once again for the wonderful help you people have been, cannot thank you all enough, regards Di
