Hi.
Is there anyone out there who has any
memories of the Ford family from Upper End, Pinvin.
?
William Ford and Ellen Ford ( Nee Reed ) were my Great grandparents, they lived in
Pinvin for
most of their married life, they
were married at the
on 25th
Dec 1886. They had seven Boys and one Girl. William - George - Edward Harry
(my
Grandfather ) - Charles - Alfred - Ernest - Sidney - & Dorothy.
Sidney the youngest son was for some
years a member of the Town Hockey Club
William Ford was born 1865 in Pinvin.
He began work Bird minding at Pinvin when he was
seven
years old for about a shilling a week,
there was little opportunity to do anything else, there was no
school in Pinvin in those days, he attended
a night class in a cottage in the village run by the Vicar
of Pershore. For a number of years
he was employed on the Market Gardening Plantations of
Mr
M. Dudley Hole.
William & Ellen Ford celebrated
their 50th Wedding anniversary in Pinvin in 1936, there was a
newspaper clipping of their celebrations. If
there is anyone who has any memories of William
& Ellen Ford or any of their
children please get in touch our share them with me.
Sincerely.
Diane de Waal (
( Granddaughter of Willam & Ellen's son Edward Harry Ford Born
1892).
