    Use of genealogy section

    I am confused by a message I received from Alberta. The genealogy section offers look-ups but it seems that using it "too much" attracts criticism. I note other members comments in support of the moderator and I am puzzled because some of those comments are from members who have already kindly...

    BALLARD - Marriage for Jessie M. Ballard

    Re: Marriage for Jessie M. Ballard Hi Lynne, All this has given me reason for thought and that my William Joseph Ballard did not marry Eliza Jessica Deakin. The name and dates have thrown doubt on all the above. Thank you, Twirls

    BALLARD - Marriage for Jessie M. Ballard

    Re: Marriage for Jessie M. Ballard Thank you Lynne, I too have the birth of Eliza Jessie Deakin as 1889. I believe I have the correct William Joseph Ballard born in 1905 Aston. It does seem a big age difference though, but not at all unusual for a woman of 40 to have a child even in those...

    BALLARD - Marriage for Jessie M. Ballard

    Re: Marriage for Jessie M. Ballard Yes Lynne, Jessie was born in 1929. Perhaps it is correct and she never married. Could you tell me if she had any siblings? Father was named Ballard and mother Deakin. I can only see Jessie on freebmd. Thank you, Twirls

    BALLARD - Marriage for Jessie M. Ballard

    Re: Marriage for Jessie M. Ballard Oh, thank you very much for this extra info. William John Ballard and Eliza Jessie are the parents of Jessie M Ballard. It would appear that William John Ballard born in 1906 had died by 1930 at the age of 24.

    BALLARD - Marriage for Jessie M. Ballard

    Re: Marriage for Jessie M. Ballard Well I suppose the marriage in Harlow is a possibility and I can't rule it out as yet. Thank you Shera for looking. I'll have to research the other names you've given me from the electoral roll. These are not names I've come across before. Twirls

    Linnecor family

    Hi Ladylinda, My, you've been busy! What a lot of babies and so many deaths. How distressing this must have been to their parents. I do hope these were not all children born to Annie. Thank you for this I'll keep it all for reference and I may be able to link them to other Ballard...

    Linnecor family

    Does anyone have any information about the Linnecor family who lived in Aston? In particular I'm looking for anything about the wife of Alfred Linnecor born in Birmingham in 1907. I believe this was Annie Ballard born in 1907 Aston. The parents of Alfred were Arthur Linnecor and Sarah Jane...
