Anyone on the list with knowledge of or a connection to the Fordham surname. More specifically we are seeking information on or contact with modern day descendants of Percy and Mary Fordham and their children. Percy's family and his brother emigrated to Canada from England in 1901 and held land grants approximately 10 miles due south of Vegreville where we believe they continued to farm for some time. Percy's brother Frederick farmed the adjacent land.
Percy FORDHAM
born: 13 Jan 1869, Willesborough, Kent
married: Mary Stuart COLE, 5 Sep 1894, Camberwell, London
Mary was born: bet. Jul & Sep 1871, Pertenall, Bedfordshire
children:
1. Hilda Marie, born bet. Apr & Jun 1896, Clapham, Surrey
2. Cyril Percy George, born 12 Sep 1897, Clapham, Surrey
3. Margaret Norah, born bet. Oct & Dec 1900, Clapham Surrey
4. Alta, born 1905, Alberta (most likely at the homestead)
and Percy's brother
Frederick FORDHAM
born: 11 Aug 1870, Willesbouough, Kent
Frederick apparently married in Canada although we have no information on his spouse. The 1901 census has Fred as a widower.
Your kind assistance with this appeal is greatly appreciated.
