| Notes for Patrick FORD | ||||||||||
| Patrick (or Patsy/Patsey/Patray) was born in Kiltulloch, Galway, Ireland sometime between 1822 and 1827. The family story is that he was a coachman and fell in love with the daughter of the 'big house'. Her father disapproved and they came over to England. This all happened around the time of the Potato Famine with mass emigration from Ireland. So how true this is we don't know.
