You could take a look here ? The Southwark local history library...but you need an address... I would just take a chance on the cert' as Choccy says

Think the only way you'll prove it is to get the certificate.

Thanks Choccy - I have had this one in my sights and am working towards proving it before buying it. The Electoral Rolls are one way I can think of. Jim

I looked at that one Choccy...and I think you're right...just thinking about it if he had died in Bromley, he would not have been taken to Guys...but certainly would in Southwark!

possible death -


England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005
Name: Alfred J Ball
Death Registration Month/Year: 1924
Age at death (estimated): 33
Registration district: Southwark
Inferred County: London
Volume: 1d
Page: 5

No luck with Freebmd or Ancestry for a likely death between 1919 up to 1930 which is strange...hope someone will be able to find on electoral roll for you.

Alfred John Ball was born to John Josiah Ball 1857 – 1928 &
Eliza Uden b. 1860.
Alfred John Ball, Q3 1889, Camberwell, Vol. 1d, Page 940. 1891 Census - Alfred John Ball, son, aged 1, b.abt. 1890, Camberwell, living at Sched. 24, No. 3, Glengall Road, Camberwell. Scholar. (aged 1?).
1901 Census - Alfred J Ball, son, single, aged 11, b.abt 1890, Camberwell, living at Sched. 272, No. 244, Barry Road, Camberwell.
1911 Census - Not at home!
See WW1 Medal card.
His Royal Engineer's Army record may not have survived – not found?
Death Index: Possibly abt. 1922-24.
He fell out of a tree trying to fix up a radio aerial.
He died in Guy's Hospital.

In the first World War he married a Suzanne LaCuisine? at Albert, near Amiens. No record has been found.
On returning to the UK they had two children:
Kathleen M Ball, Q4 1917, Bromley, Vol. 2a, Page 778. Mmn. Cousins (Could be Cousine or Cuisine).
Then:
Francine J Ball, Q1 1920, Bromley, Vol. 2a, Page 1412. Mmn. Lacuisine. GRO Certificate applied for.
They may have lived at 90 Devonshire Road, Bromley (Lewisham) Kent.
I am interested to know if anyone can access the Electoral Rolls for the period 1918 to 1924 for that area?
In about 1922 – 24 he died after falling out of a tree.
Shortly afterwards, his wife and daughters moved back to Rouen in France where his wife remarried and moved to Lyon.
No trace of them or their French Records have yet been found.

As I live in the south of France and find it difficult to visit the UK, I am hoping that some kind soul can assist with viewing the electoral roll’s which may well then assist in finding this particular A J BALL’s death certificate.
Many thanks in advance
