This does not seem right!Going through 'Park' database the other day I came across this - I have just put the relevant 'bits' in.
| Quote: | chr 1635 Will[ia]m Ball f: Willmi 20 December
marriage 1663 William Baule Mery Laxam of Hesketh 29 Sep
Death: bet 16 Aug 1691 13 Oct 1691
And all the Rest and Residue off my goods Catteles and Chatteles I give unto my Loveing wife Mery Ball
I the Said William Ball to this my Last will and testament do set my hand and Soule the Sixteenth day of August and in the year of our Lord God 1691
A Just and true Inventory of all the Goods Chattes and Cattells praised and appraised by us Richard Ball and John Liniker the 13th day of October 1691 of William Ball deceased
burial 1673 Mery w. of William Ball de Bertall 23 June
|
My query is
If William died bet 16 Aug 1691 13 Oct 1691
He named his wife Mery in his will
but burial 1673 Mery w. of William Ball de Bertall 23 June
I do not have the Ball One Name so cannot check it to see if the year is correct for Mery's burial and that Joyce has just put in the wrong year.

Probably worth dropping Joyce a line pointing out the apparent inconsistency. I know Joyce is busy at the moment "doing" Birkdale and entering all the data from her recent trip to Southport but I'm sure she will be happy to have a look.

In the One Name Extracts for Ball there is a burial of Mery Ball d William Oct 17 1692! Burial of Mery w Will Ball, Bertall is noted as Jun 23 1673? The only Will Ball there is noted is Jun 17 1697? But there are one or two Mary Ball burials after these dates! Very odd
