I am trying to gather info on a family

Harry Ball married Ethel Hough Jun qtr 1928 Ormskirk district. Ethel was born 1904 in Southport daughter of John and Ellen Hough... the info I am trying to find is for HARRY can any one check the newspapers at the library for me and find out which Ball's he belongs too. I cannot even think of which line, like the rimmers there's to many. thought I would ask here first before trying to eke out the money for the marriage cert as funds are tight for everyone.... I am assuming he was a local guy so it should have made the papers. thanks for any help you can give.

Hi sooner Can't help I am afraid but have you tried narrowing the search down on the 1911 census.
Just a thought . Have you any idea of the year he was born.
Good Luck

I have no idea when he was born! I assume there would be about a 2/3 year gap so around 1900

as you can see I'm spoiled forchoice assuming he was local

so going by process of elimination the 2 1901 census the one b.1899 is probably the one who died? that leaves nsw, australia boy.... I guess I can start looking for more info on him and see if anything lines up

Just to put a spanner in the works - is it possible that he was Henry and not Harry? My uncle and his son were always known as Harry but had been baptised Henry!

Yes Sooner if he was one of those two it points to him.

You are right there Sea Cop I wouldn't even like to go down that road.

As it says Harry in the marriage indexes then that should be correct. People should (although some didn't!) use their birth name when marrying or on official documents.

1928 for marriages in local papers might be a long shot though. Only the 'posh' would have got in I would think at that time.

just talked to dad he says Ethel died about march 1986/7 so I checked and there is a death for an Ethel Ball, march 87 in Sefton North. that covers Southport doesn't it? could that date be looked up for obituary notices? there is also a harry Ball born 1902 died dec 1986 Sephton North that could be him..

That looks a good bet.
Not sure but i do think Sefton covers Southport .
Some one will be along soon that does know.
There are two Harry's about that age in 1911.
Frst one looks most likely.

HOUSEHOLD BALL HARRY M 1903 8 Ormskirk Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD BALL HARRY M 1900 11 Ormskirk Lancashire
By doing a bit of illiminaion I think this will be his father.

Some may be able to verify or do i better

HOUSEHOLD BALL JOHN M 1875 36 Ormskirk Lancashire.

Just having a quick look at the census you put up. there is a John Ball wife Ada and they have a son Harry born 1899 now I wonder is this the Harry that died and you have Harry no.2 .
In 1911 there is an Ada Ball with a son Harry born 1903.

The registration district for Southport was originally Ormskirk, then Southport then back to Ormskirk and finally Sefton North as it is now.
