Hi,
The listers are going to need a bit more identifying information than Nanna Ford, if they are to help with your request.

My mothers name was Audrey Beaven. I was only a little girl when I went to the tablelands. I remember Nana and Pop Ford from Upper Barron. Their was an Aunt Sai. Aunt Sai was Pop Fords sister. Marie Rockley and Amy Pratt was my mothers Aunt. The Fords had a son Merve, he was the only one at home with them. Aunty Elsie and Uncle Reg live across the road. They had three children. Albie, Cheryl and another boy.
I hope this is of help.

Hi,
I think the info you are looking for falls within the privacy era.

I found a marriage on QLD BDM for Marie Ivy Jane FORD in 1937 to a Charles Wayatt ROCKLEY.
Marie was born 1914 to Ira FORD and Ivy Olive MURRAY.

Mervyn Murray FORD died 1981 Father Ira John FORD Mother Ivy Olive

It would appear Ira and Ira John FORD may be the same person as Ivy Olive died 1927.
There is a marriage in 1931 for Ira John FORD to Edith BEAVEN.

Was Edith BEAVEN your mothers mother?

3)Robert died 1958
4)Ellaline died 1921 (might be transcription error)

Hi Marilyn,

Re... "My mothers name was Audrey Beaven"

I think Kellie has most of your family sorted for you.

Audrey, (I think), may have been a child of Albert Culley BEAVEN, who died 1983.

Albert BEAVEN and his three brothers, had their father die, (Henry Albert BEAVEN) in August 1927. See reports and obituary in the Cairns newspapers.


Mr Ira John FORD, had his wife die, one month later, in September 1927.

Then, Edith Ann BEAVEN (nee WILKINS) (widow) married Ira John FORD (widower).

A 1947 wedding photo, of Audrey BEAVEN to A. J. GALT in the Townsville newspaper.

Townsville Daily Bulletin, Monday 24 March 1947 p 6 Article Illustrated:

Presbyterian Church last Saturday. . The, bride, was formerly Audrey Beaver, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. BEAVEN......
