Hi,
I haven't done much research with the Warrens as yet, but the Ball family - the latter part - were around Bloxwich and Walsall, Birmingham.

My great grampa William Orme and his wife, Emma Greenway had a niece by the name of Warren living with them in Aston or Handsworth, Birmingham ( I can't remember which at the moment - Sorry !)
I will have to look properly at the nieces name also I do know it was a Jane Warren who was the sponsor for my Nan and Grandad to travel to Buffalo, New York, USA.
If I get chance tomorrow I'll check my information but right now I'm off to bed!!

I have Warrens and Balls in my tree, semro :)
My Balls are originally from Coventry and then in Birmingham, no connection to Staffs. that I am aware of.
My Warrens are also from Birmingham, a long line of William Warrens in the St. Martins area.

Thanks to both of you, I was on the free sites just now - will go back to them in a bit.
Although I probably shouldn't ask here I noticed you were researching Warren of Birmingham , BeverleyW, I also have a connection to a Warren a niece of my Gt Grandparents in Birmingham and also a Jane Warren in USA - any connection with yours?
Thanks again about the Ball family - going back now to Free BMD etc.

www.freereg.org.uk has thousands (literally) of entries for the surname Ball in Staffs., worth a try looking there - it's free.

Thanks Ann,
Oops! Where did Isaacke come from!
On this family chart I have William (1570) and Maude having: Christopher 1600, William 1603, Catherine 1606, Richard, Ann and Anthony (no birth dates)

Christopher (1600) married Ellin Nixon then chart reads Ann, William 1621, Elizabeth 1623, Margery 1626, John 1629, Mary 1633 Richard -1639

As I said the chart is a bit jumbled in places. It was apparently researched many years ago definitely before computers! Getting more confusing the more I study it!

I have been given a family tree of the Ball family from Staffordshire. Would someone be able to check part of it for me as its not too clear and there are no real details.

Christopher Ball 1600 - 1664 married to Ellin Nixon in 1619 Uttoxeter
One of their children was William 1621 - did he marry an Ann - or was this person his sister?
It then shows William had 2 children William and John both c 1660 - John married Anne.
The chart then shows Elizabeth 1687 and Christopher 1692-1735.( I'm presuming these were John and Annes' children.)
Christopher married Mary who died in 1728 and it looks like there were 2 children from this marriage - Ann 1727 and John 1728-1728.
Christopher married for the second time to Elizabeth and it appears they had 3 children. But was this Elizabeth the one mentioned above born in 1687?

What I'm asking is : who did William 1621 marry?
Any information about Christopher marrying Elizabeth and did he also have a sister called Elizabeth?

The surname is Ball and the only places mentioned are Uttoxeter, Colton

Hoping someone can sort the confusion for me - thanks.
