The Family of Isaac Ford 1764-1834
The Lawton Parish Register reveals that the parents of the Isaac Ford 1800-1861 were Isaac and Mary Ford. It is also clear that, in 19th Century rural Staffordshire, marriage was often followed by a series of children at two to four year intervals. So it is possible to piece together families and their movements from the Baptism Recods. That has led me to construct the following tree:
| Isaac Ford 1764-1834 = Mary | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| John 1789-1863 |
William 1791-1856 |
Thomas 1794-1857 |
Hannah 1797-1813 |
Isaac 1800-1861 |
The evidence for the existence of this family group is fairly strong. The first and last two children were baptised at Lawton. The middle two at Newchapel, but stated to be residents of Brieryhurst hamlet, which is just over the county border from Lawton.
