Further, Celia remarried after Ernest died to a Dursley. Makes me thing of Harry Potter for some odd reason.
when was the remarriage? That could also put a nail in the coffin of "Father Ford left school at age 10 to support that family". I doubt any dutiful parent wouldn't bother sending a kid to school at that age because they didn't do well. Dropping out at high school age is more believable/likely.
Dursely eh? Maybe Doug Sr had to live in a closet under the stairs.
