Commentary
Joan’s parentage:
Joan is stated to be of Hardwicke in her 1712 marriage record. The bishop’s transcripts of the Hardwicke parish register record the baptism of Joane Fords in 1683, parents William and Ester. No other baptism in the indexes seems likely to be correct.
William and Ester’s eldest child was baptized in 1681 in Hardwicke. The Hardwicke register records the marriage in 1680 of William Fords and Ester Roules.
