Ball Family
« on: Sunday 29 January 12 03:43 GMT (UK) »
I'm currently trying to trace the Ball family who lived on Milbourne Ave, Drumcondra as seen in the 1901 and 1911 Census. My Grandad Charles Ball was one of 9 children in that household born to James and Sarah. The family of Charles is still very well connected between Ireland,England, Canada and Australia but we wonder where the decendents of the other children in that family may be. We were told that Mary Ball emigrated to the USA (year unknown). Curious if anyone out there may be connected.

A slightly different occupation for James, but it looks like the family still lived at Millbourne Avenue in  Thom's 1914 as follows :

  James Ball, dairy, Hollywell cottage
   
There are similar listings in 1921 and 1930 for a Jas. Ball, but there are no sign of them at Millbourne in 1938.

Thank you for the information but I have the marriage cert for James and Sarah and the birth record for James. The family search record records the birth for James Peter as the 26th of June 1880 but this could be mistake.

Hi
I am interested in John Joseph Donohoe.

My John Joseph married a Margaret Caffrey in the Pro Cathedral in 1894. At the time of his marriage he was living on Upper Dorset Street.

Is this John Joseph in your husbands family tree ?
