Our Charles FORD (b Hampshire) married in Donneraile CORK to Hannah/Honora/Anna MORGAN (b Donneraile) thirty years earlier in 1835. I would love to know what connection there was between the FORDs & CORK County. Charles was a soldier who consequently travelled where he was needed, including Tasmania, mostly taking his wife and increasing tribe of children with him. He & his wife settled after retirement in Woodend Victoria Australia. Frank Whillans, Melbourne Victoria.
