Dursley Glos Forum

I am researching my husbands family tree. I am back to James Ford born Dursley 1824, his father was Elijah. I think I have found the family on the 1841 census. I have Elijah (weaver) age 45 Elizabeth (cloth worker) age 43 John (20) James (15) Henry (10) Emma (9) Sarah (8) Mary (6) and Joseph (4). This would make James 2 years older than he should be but who knows if the ages are correct ? If this is the correct family the mother Elizabeth Cousins father Elijah Ford however if someone can say this is not my Ford family then I do not know the name of James' mother.
I know they were not the only Ford family in this area as I have found 2 Elijah Fords on the free bmd one died in Dursley march quarter of 1857 the other died December quarter of 1858 can anyone help?

Hi Helen
I've just checked my copy of the baptism records for Dursley for the 18th Century and can't see any Elijah Ford or Elizabeth Cousins mentioned but maybe they wern't baptised or if they were then it happened after 1800. I don't have the records after that date.
If I find something I'll let you know.
