Thank you so much for all the help and information 

Emily's birth is confusing. On the 1871 census, she is with husband John aged 64 (actually 65 as born 24 March 1806 in Pakenham) and John's grandson, who has an unusual name (Spenceley), so this is definitely the right family. Emily is listed here as a school mistress, age 46, born in Pakenham. This would make her birth about 1825 (and aged 41 when she married). Of course, she could still have been baptised in Fryerning when she was 5 years old. However, a Pakenham baptism with father Richard would make more sense, especially since her residence at time of marriage was Rougham, which is close to Pakenham. So far, such a baptism is elusive.

After 1871 the trail then goes cold.....coincidentally there is another couple about the right ages named John and Emily Balls with a similar age gap that appear on the 1881 and subsequent censuses, and many John Balls from Pakenham, but I can't find any censuses or deaths that relate unequivocally to the couple I am interested in. Any help would be much appreciated 

I am trying to find the children of John Balls of Onehouse and Mary Frost of Woolpit who were married on 25 Oct 1779 in Great Finborough. The problem is that too many children had parents named John & Mary Balls around the same time, so I am trying to narrow down the area.  So far I have found:
 
Son William, christened 5 Jan 1782 in Onehouse (parents just John & Mary Balls but right area).
Son John was christened on 18 May 1783 in Onehouse (parents Mary Frost & John Balls).
Daughter Alice was christened on 3 Feb 1788 in Great Finborough (parents Mary Frost & John Balls).

I would like to find any other children born between 1780 - 1781, 1784 - 1787, or 1789 - 1799.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I am trying to find the Mary Frost that married John Balls on 25 Oct 1779 in Great Finborough.

FS has a Mary Frost that was christened on 18 December 1753 in Suffolk. Is it possible to find out where that christening took place; if it was near Great Finborough perhaps?

Thanks for any help.
