This is really annoying me, I hope someone can help.
In 1891 I have this census entry (from FreeCen):

Piece: RG12/2410 Place: Aston -Warwickshire Enumeration District: 53
Civil Parish: Aston Ecclesiastical Parish: All Saints
Folio: 63 Page: 13 Schedule: 78
Address: 249 Herbert Road
BALL John Head M M 32 Hawker(Notem) Warwickshire - Birmingham
BALL Emily L Wife M F 29 Warwickshire - Birmingham
BALL Emily E Dau - F 6 Scholar Warwickshire - Birmingham
BALL John Son - M 4 Warwickshire - Birmingham
BALL Wm Son - M 1 Warwickshire - Birmingham

I can't find them at all on Ancestry or FMP for 1891 or 1901, even searching with a wild card.
Hoping that someone can assist
Thanks
Beverley

Thank you both very much. It's amazing that both sites can mis-transcribe such an ordinary name.
Best wishes

Beverley


(Having said that, the original record on ancestry is totally illegible)

The name may be ordinary but the image is very faint - when I first looked at it it looked more like Bills to me!

Possible for 1901. Image is clearly Ball. Have sent correction to Ancestry.

Thanks again Chris and thanks Andrew for 1901. It is the right family, and I had already found them in 1911.
Looking at the ancestry image in 1901 I don't know how anyone could possibly take that B for a G
Balls, Bill, Gall....... :-S
