Hello Keith,I have a William Ford, born abt. 1814 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. He was the eldest of 6 children born to Samuel Ford & Mary Slater (Slayter). Mary appears to have been born abt 1788 in Oxford.
William's siblings were - Henry Ford, born 19 May 1819: Elizabeth Slaughter Ford, born abt 1826: James Ford, also born abt 1826:Richard Ford, born abt abt 1829:Sarah Ford, born 16 May 1830. All were born in Wycombe.
Samuel & Mary were married in West Wycombe on 18 July 1813.
William, I believe, married Mary Ann Jones, born abt 1812 in Brighton, Sussex. They had 7 children. Eliza, born abt 1838: Ellen, born abt 1839: Catherine, born abt 1842:George James, born 29 August 1846 (his Birth Certificate names his mother as Mary Ann Ford, formerly Jones):Sarah, born abt 1848: William, born May 1850: Mary A, born abt 1854. Mary A was born in Dartford, Kent, all the others were born in Wycombe.
I also have a record of another child Eliza Ann, born abt 1846, but I cannot relate her to Mary Ann Jones.
I have all the Censi information with regard to William and Mary Ann, showing that they moved to Dartford between 1851 & 1854 (the year that Mary A, their youngest child was born)
William Ford died 15 September 1895 at 137 High Street, Dartford. His wife, Mary Ann, died 27 October 1866, also High Street, Dartford.

Samuel Ford, William's father is my 3 x Great Grandfather
