Ball family Horton/Chipping Sodbury

[ivorglyn]

Dear all,I am trying to find the antecedants of William Slyfield Ball christened 17/april 1808 in Little Sodbury parents John Ball and Joyce Slyfield.

There was a marriage in Chipping Sodbury 7/april 1806 between John Ball(of Horton) and Joyce Slyfield.

There was a John Ball b.Horton ~1776(parents Giles Ball and Deborah).Giles/Deborah had another child Isaac b.24/may/1772
The only Deborah born Horton I can find is Deborah Hulins.The parents of Deborah Hulins were Isaac and Abigail.

There was another Giles Ball b.8/nov/1741 in Horton (parents Giles Ball and Ann).

That is as far as I have got.Has anyone found possible marriages (in Gloucestershire) for Giles and Deborah(Mulins?) and Giles and Ann?Any feedback would be much appreciated..ivorglyn

There is a tree on Ancestry which gives the marriage of

Giles BALL to Ann HUNTER 9 October 1726 at Westonbirt, Gloucestershire

(haven't found this one yet!) as there appears to be 'missing' years on Ancestry


---

There does appear (on Ancestry to be quite a number of BALL marriages at Westonbirt - including: Gyles BALL - 7 October 1680 - Westonbirt) -


---

The earliest child of Giles & Deborah BALL at Horton, Gloucestershire, was William christened 21 September 1766.

 Gloucestershire Marriage  marriage pre 1800 : has come up 'trumps'

By searching for marriages (just by residence i.e.: HORTON) have found

Husband's surname: (just a dash)

Forename: Giles?

Husb Place: Horton

Married at : Little Sodbury



Wife: ULAMS?  (sometimes Gloucestershire Dialect doesn't sound the "H" - hence 'ouse' for House)

Forename: Deborah

Date: 22 July 1765

---

In previous reply: first child christened at Horton, was William in 1766

On the CD

There is a Thomas HOWLIN of Wapley who married at Little Sodbury : Mary SIMMONDS of Horton, 2 April 1705.

?

Will have a look...

On the Horton baptisms/marriages

Isaac HULINS married Mary POWELL 23 November 1725 - and can see a baptism of Hannah in 1737 parents: Isaac & Mary - so assume the marriage to Deborah was after this date?



I've just been to Westonbirt Arboretum to see the Autumn leaves!

As Tetbury is just up the road from Westonbirt:

On Ancestry

Baptism at Tetbury : 21 January 1697

Ann HUNTER: father, George  (+ various other siblings)

Dear capetown,Again many thanks

I had found the Tetbury birth for Ann Hunter which looks more likely than the other records.As for the Giles Ball marriage record..which marriage do you have the record for?

[Capetown]

Not sure what Giles marriage you are referring to - hopefully I've attached the 1765 marriage at Little Sodbury. 

By looking at just the page scanned - it highlights the problems people face when trying to find their Ancestors marriages, when the male surname - has been difficult to read.

Dear Capetown,I found a christening of a Deborah Hulins in Horton 14/july 1845 with parents Isaac and Abigail.Have you a record of marriage for Isaac Hulins and Abigail in Gloucestershire?

The next problem is trying to find the Giles Ball who married Ann(e) Hunter in 1726 Westonbirt.I found a Giles Ball b.Avening in 1718/1719 on familysearch but I must find a Giles borne before 1710.

I use findmypast and searching their records gave a Giles b.1688 Sherborne but no other Giles..
kind regards ivorglyn
