- Notes
- Infant son of Sir Francis John Ford, 3rd Baronet (1818–1850), of Ember Court, Surrey, and Cornelia Maria (née Darling, eldest daughter of General Sir Ralph Darling; married 31 October 1846). The register writes ‘Second Baronet’, but the Ford baronet who married a Cornelia was the 3rd Bt (the 2nd Bt was Sir Francis Ford, no ‘John’, whose wife was Eliza Brady) — so the register’s ordinal is in error. Named Francis Henry in the register, corroborated by the headstone (“Francis Henry, son of Sir Francis and Lady Ford, died 17th July 1849”); buried 18 July, aged ~3 months. Krieger headstone survey: ‘Ooty Church Book 72, map 101’, sculptor G./J. Law. Sources: thepeerage.com; History of Parliament Online (1st Bt, of Ember Court & Lears, Barbados).
