BUT ALL COME UP LATEST 1909

Wow Jim, what luck. Wish I had some funeral directors in my family!

Thanks for the update.

Hi Choccy
I have found another way to prove it.
In the family is a well established chain of Funeral parlours.
They have a copy of an invoice for this partiular family funeral in their archives.
Died: 03/01/1924
Buried: 6 Jan 1924 Camberwell Old Cemetery.
Was living at time of death, 93 Burbage Road, Dulwich.
Even have all the actual costs, etc etc!
What luck!
Jim

Sorry James, I cant help you.
I've got no Balls at all in my family tree.



xxxxx mick

oooooo is that Zoe Ball and her Father Johnny Ball?

Re GG Ormsby - Don't think this is relevant. Jim - Have to stop for today but will pick it up again tommorow.

This is very true and they (William E and Rosina M had a famous son! If you are English and watch TV). Jim

Alfred J Ball was a witness at His brother William's wedding in 1913.

No...It is G.G. Ormsby??

Will get back on that Jim

His brother William Ernest Ball married Rosina Mary Thornton in 1913 Southwark, so the connection is there.

I see that St Stephen at Walworth Common was a Mission. Alfred John's grandfather William John Ball 1826-1919 was a City Missionary. Maybe he was baptised by his grandfather? Does it say? Jim

Many thanks Susan.
He became a Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers serving at Galapoli, Egypt and France. I have not found his war records though only his Medal Card?
Jim

I have added to my post below.

At his baptism the family were living at

3 Glengall Road. Old Kent Road

The baptism was Oct 6 1889 In the Parish of St Stephen's Walworth

Hi RR - This is interesting and when the 'applied for' BC arrived then I will be sure of the birth address - if it was at home - great. So have down loaded the forms just in case. Jim

Thanks Susan - I'll check the piggy bank now. Jim

I have searched too 2 years either side of 1923 and the Southwark one is the strongest possibility. On the strength of this I would certainly buy the certificate.

Edit: His baptism was in Southwark too

London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906
