I am sorry I am late in getting my name in this project and hope I still can.I do have ancestors from Galway City in the early 1800's according to a death certificate of my great great Uncle Walter Ford. His sister Bridget is my 2nd great grandmother and their parents were Patrick Ford and Honora Jordan. Patrick Ford was a flax grower and is listed in the Fax List of 1796 . I was in Ireland in 2007 and found that information at the National Archives in Dublin.
I do not know what parish they were from other than Galway City.
Thank you very much and have a great day.

Hi There
Many thanks for your email. Ford or Forde is a common surname in Co Galway. Do you have any additional information on the Fords?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
