Durham / Re: Elizabeth Ann Bell-Ashcroft-McGurk
« on: Today at 06:33 »
The Western Times 22 June 1934 Funeral held at the Catholic Church for Clive McGurk.
Parents both listed as well as his brother Kenneth plus cousins.

So both parents were in Devon up until 1934.

ADDED
Wife's name not mentioned so possibly not Elizabeth.

1939 Register
Francis McGurk born 15 July  1884
Catherine  McGurk born 24 August 1888

Kent / Re: BALLARD, William
« on: Yesterday at 22:34 »
I was puzzled that " son" Henry is not mentioned in the will, he is on the 1841 census so perhaps is not a son but a relative living with them, or he had been disowned for some reason.

There is a Henry Ballard -Watchmaker who marries in London naming his father as William Ballard Watchmaker. 

Jemima 8 and Harriet 6 are William Jr. daughters.

Children Joseph, Harriet, Frederick, John, William and Mary, in that order (so William 1809 may have died)
