John James FORD
Set As Default Person -
Name John James FORD Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Mar Q 1849 Woolwich, Kent, England
- From the censuses. Shown as aged 2 at the time of the 1851 census, implying born 1848 or 1849. I think this was his birth registration which would make him aged 2 at the time of the census:
GRO ref: Ford, John James q1 1849 Greenwich RD 5 292 - Greenwich RD included Woolwich at this time
There was also a John whose birth was registered in the same RD in q2 1848 who would also have been 2 at the time. However, both census entries and a marriage for the John I think is the other one point to his parents being John and Sarah.
