More FORDs in NSW

...and that’s what the power of the internet (or just the eternally curious) rewards you with. Now I have some names from John’s website (see previous blog post) I have been able to fill in more gaps. I even have a wonderful scan copy of Margo’s husband’s war record (Leslie FIELDING). I’ll upload it soon.
But most notably I’ve found descendants of Lionel Frederick FORD, son of Lionel & Dorrie and brother to Margo & Gloria through his obituary in 2007, which I found on the Sydney Morning Post website:
"Late of Gymea.
Dearly beloved husband of Hazel, Valma (both deceased) and Ruby.
Much loved father and father-in-law of Bob & Rhonda, Margaret & Terry and Stephen & Jenny. Loving Grandpa to his eleven grandchildren and many great- grandchildren. Loving brother of Margo and Gloria.
Aged 88 years.
Sadly missed and Loved by all.
LIONEL'S family and friends are invited to attend
his
Funeral Service in the West Chapel, Woronora Crematorium
Linden Street, Sutherland, on Tuesday (January 30, 2007) at 11.30 a.m.”
What’s amazing is that Gloria and Margo were still alive in 2007! Is there a chance I will be able to speak to them? Write to them? It’s so wonderful to know that I have more cousins out there descended from our FORDs back in Rotherhithe.
