I've 2 great Uncles who went off to USA and New Zealand any pionters how and where I start looking for them. I only have basic details: Amos Ford bn: 02/09/1881 Chilvers Coton Nuneaton Warks Went with his wife, name u/k, to New Zealand. They were methodists by faith. Belive they went 1910 or later Dick Ford bn: 09/06/1873 Chilvers Coton Nuneaton Warks Went with wife Martha (nee Hill) to USA. They married in this country in 1906 and I understand they went shortly afterwards. Karen
