1841 census.

Mary Ball c1753. n.b.i.c.
Samuel Ball c1791. b.i.c  Occ Tailor.
Ann Ball c1797. n.b.i.c.

Address - Queen Sqr. ? Chipping Wycombe.

These may, or may not be connected.

I would suggest a burials and baptisms search from BucksFHS, for any relatives you have found.  You may get more information, than you would from FamilySearch.

These searches will be a lot cheaper than a cert.  It will also help you narrow down any certs you may require. £1 per individual search, which will cover up to 100 years each individual, for either baptism, marriage or burial.  This will be for all of Buckinghamshire.

Just two questions. 
How sure are you they originated from Gloucestershire.?
Did any of William Balls family members, carry on his trade.?

Thank you Steve for your comments and questions.
I am already a good customer of BucksFHS. They have carried out many searches for me, and I have obtained parish registers for areas where my family was concentrated. There was just this last
problem with William Ball that was open. I will just bite the bullet.

Yes, the William Ball family did come from Gloucestershire, where I have traced them back a couple of generations. I have the necessary parish register records as satisfactory documentation.

Of the sons, one became a confectioner, the others became cordwainer, chairmaker and bricklayer.

One reason I asked this, was that in my Home Town of Princes Risborough, albeit 170 odd years later, there was a Robin Ball, who owned a Confectionery and newspaper shop.
I know this is purely speculative, but the surname and 'sweet's', just rang a small bell.

Good luck and good hunting.

Well now, what a coincidence!
I remember Robin Ball and his predecessors, the two spinster ladies, one tall and thin and the other short and fat, who ran the sweet shop.
Mr Green, the fishmonger, who had a stall at the market place, also lodged in my memory, as did Mr East who delivered the coal and Mr Woods who once explained pasteurisation to me at Town Farm.
I was brought up in Risborough, but gradually lost contact when I went to RGS.
I left the UK in my early twenties and return only very occasionally.

Fishmonger......was that Mr Whitmee. ??

The Greenhouse was the sweet shop(later to become Grannies Pantry), but the names of the sisters escape me.  And yes, I also recall very well the others you mention. ;D
