Ford Caleb

Thirza

Brummie babby
I have a Caleb John Ford born 1850 at Grendon Warwick, parents Caleb Ford and Elizabeth.
I have found Caleb Ford and Elizabeth Dowell marriage in 1849 in Grendon Warwick as well.
In the 1851 census I found Elizabeth Ford as head aged 23 and caleb John aged 5 months,in Grendon.
I found caleb John in the 1871 census aged 20 as a border. in Warwickshire.
After a lot of searching I have found no Birth for Caleb Ford,No death for him,No remarriage for Elizabeth if she was a widow, and none of them on the 1861 census.
Hoping that someone can help me on this site, so that I may go back furthur with the family.

With many Thanks,

Thirza

there is a death of caleb ford 1850 apr-jun derbyshire 19 389

i know the area doesnt seem right but the date would fit ok. maybe he was born derbyshire. you wont find a birth except for parish records as it would have been before 1837
 
the original marriage was caleb ford to elizabeth dowell on 16th oct 1849 at grendon warwickshire
 
Thank you so very much for all your help with this information, yes all the dates do fit as for the area it never fails to surprise me how much people moved around the country.
Many Thanks once again.
