Kent / Elizabeth Penfold dob c 1862
« on: Thursday 26 April 18 14:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

Does anyone have any connection to Elizabeth Penfold, c 1862 Groomsbridge, Kent, married Joseph Ball dob c 1857 Rosley, Lincolnshire, both from travelling showmen families?

I am trying to confirm their children as different sources, family and census, give conflicting, although not completely different, results and I am not sure if I have the right family.

My interest is with the Ball family, my direct link.

Many thanks,
Teresa

Hi,

I have been working backwards a bit and have found William b 1801 married Sara Anstey b 1800, father of Thomas, b 1821.  I am slowly working through it and coming up to the present day.  William and Sara married in 1817, very young, and in Hampshire, St. Marys, Portsea which would fit with the travelling lifestyle.  Sara was born in East Barnet, Herts.  I believer there were at least three more children, I have yet to confirm these.  William died 1847, Sara died 1838

Thomas married Elizabeth Hudson Smith 1848 in Cambridgeshire.  Thomas born Claton, Spalding.  Elizabeth born Tasset, Huntingdonshire.  I think Thomas had more siblings, yet to trace them, but will be working down when I get a chance and I will let you know what I find.

If you are  not going backwards in your tree, let me know and I will not send anymore information until I get to the children.

Also, if you have any information on William and Sara, I would love to hear from you.  I am also trying to track down an existing tree within the family, but it seems they have moved house and I am not sure where to.  Also, I am not on the Isle of Wight these days, so that tends to complicate it further.

Thanks,
Teresa

Hi,

Thank you for replying, my line runs back to William Ball, do you by any chance have any details on Joseph's siblings, parents etc that I might be able to add to my family tree?  I am also looking for a photograph of the funfair, rides, etc. that they might have had.

Thank you
Teresa

Looking for any information on the Ball family showmen.  My family are from the Isle of Wight but originall from Thomas and Elizabeth whose children were Thomas, James, Susannah, Elizabeth, Joseph and, my direct line, William who married Ruth Beeney.

Would love to hear from anyone connected and also see any photos as I have none.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone,
Teresa

Hi,

This is a very late response, but have recently been looking at the family tree and have a Thomas Ball married Elizabeth Hudson Smith 1848 at Cambridge.  Also, their son William married Ruth Beaney who was daughter of Absolom Beaney and Priscilla nee Ripley.

Can anyone help with some detail as I only really started this to answer questions from a relative and am now obsessed with finding a photo of the fairground or part of it.

Thank you for any assistance.
