“I’m related to the Fords of Southcot Farm, Chapmanslade – John Ford (1824-1864), son John (1864-1954) and grandson Percival John (1886-1960). Percival’s wife Ethel died in Sonoma, California, in 1980 – a mystery! I know a little about them and their wonder horse “Rocket” but the trail has gone cold. Does anyone know anything about this family?”
*John Ford (born 1864) was famous at equestrian events such as those at the Frome Cheese Show during the 1920s, as was his wonder horse “Rocket”.
