Punch Ford of Ireland , an engineer, probably railroad, and Nellie of Boston, MA. Mary Ellen was put up for adoption within two years and her name was changed to Grace Evelyn Caul. Is there anyone who has P. Punch Ford or Nellie in their lineage in the Boston, MA area in this early time frame. Would be glad to share what I have on their daughter with you.
