Robert Bertram (“Bert”) Ford was an engineer and contractor. He was also involved in automobile sales for a short time.
He lived at 2060 Comox Street in 1915 and 1916.
Family Background
Robert Bertram Ford was born on July 26, 1883, in London, England.
His parents were Robert Ford (1853–1901) and Susan Jane Sampson (1856–1925). They were married on October 17, 1882.
Robert Ford was a dispensing chemist who lived at 20 Connaught Road, Stroud Green, London, in 1897. He died on May 26, 1901.
Susan Ford died on April 6, 1925.
Early Life
Bert went to Merchant Taylors’ School from September 1892 to 1894.
In 1901, he was a student at King’s College in London.
Marriage to Ethel Langer
Bert married Ethel Langler in Ealing, West London in early 1911.
Ethel was born in March 1886.
Her parents were Charles Langler (1855-1909) and Martha Bowden Ekers (1854–1955).
To Vancouver
Shortly after their marriage, Bert and Ethel travelled to Canada.
By mid-1911, Bert was working in Vancouver as a road contractor.
Bert and Ethel were living in the Manhattan Apartments at 784 Thurlow Street in Vancouver.
In 1912 and 1913, Bert was in an engineering and contracting business with John S. Bruce and Robert Bruce, using the name of Bruce and Ford.
Bert and Ethel were living in apartment 32 of the Broughton Apartments at 1091 Broughton Street.
In 1914, Bert had become the managing director of the Forshaw Ford Automobile Company Ltd., which had a new building at 418 Georgia Street.
The company was the Vancouver distributor for Cole and Studebaker cars. The “Ford” in the company name was Bert Ford, and the company appears to have had no connection with the Ford Motor Company. Hamilton Read, a Vancouver lawyer, was the president of the company. Thomas Guy Forshaw was the sales manager of the company.

By 1915, Bert was back in the contracting business. He was living at 2060 Comox Street.
The 1916, Vancouver directory indicated that Bert was in the rubber goods business, along with Harry Ratheram Sayer (1876-1946), who also lived at 2060 Comox Street.
Military Service
In February 1916, Bert enlisted as a lieutenant in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He was with the Second Tunnelling Company.
His officer’s declaration stated that Ethel was living at “The Cottage, Creffield Road, Ealing, London, England.”
Bert was killed in action on June 2, 1916. He was commemorated at Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial in West-Vlaanderen, Belgium.
Ethel: Later Life
Shortly after the war, Ethel was living at 232 Willesden Lane in London, England.
In 1930, she was living at 104 Maida Vale in London, England. (Her sister, Miss Mabel Langler, was at number 105 Maida Vale.)
It appears that Ethel was still living in 1941, when her son, Keith Langler Ford, died while on military service during the Second World War.
No further information is available for Ethel
Bert and Ethel had one son.
Keith Langler Ford
Keith Langler Ford was born on December 6, 1913.
He died on December 19, 1941.
