Hi Carol I can't find a Sarah Balls born at Aylsham. Do you think they've written Mary A. instead of Sarah A. She seems to be about the right age doesn't she? By the way, on the 1851 tri-counties disc I find that a search for Balls finds people living in Norfolk while a search for Ball finds people living in Warwickshire and Devon with only a few exceptions. Heather PS I knew this sounded familiar, there's a character named Golden Ball in a Georgette Heyer novel, lol. |

Not sure about that Heather, havent done much with the PULLs as yet. I really need to get my BALLS sorted first. It is possible that Sarah could be Mary Ann`s sister. |

Crista, I think that it could have originally been either Golden or Golding depending on how emumerators or registrars heard it. |

Sorry,I'm afraid it's a transcription Carol. I was looking for Sarah too, was she from Norfolk? Heather |

Thank you for that Heather and everyone else. I think that it was originally Golding, as on his mothers birth certificate (Sarah Ann Golding BALLS) Now I know why my grandmother insisted on dropping the s |

Golden and his father, also called Golden, are in IGI. Carol, I hope we're not offending you. I have a Justus Agrippa Balls in my tree. Crista |
