Can you tell us what you do know about them? 

Are we looking for them as a couple or two unrelated individuals?

You've not given us much to go on.

I can see:

James Ball b. c. 1880, Bootle, Lancs ( resident Bootle on 1881, 1891 census)

James Ball b. c. 1880 Manchester (resident Manchester on 1891 census)

James Ball b. c. 1880 Pemberton (resident Pemberton, 1881 census)

They were a couple, all i know is that they had a son John born about 1915 and her parents were William Coulton and Mariah ?

Hi Derr

In the 1901 Census in Moss Side Lane, Tarleton:

= William Coulton, Head, 76, Farmer
= Mariah Coulton, Wife, 48
= Catherine Coulton, 12

All born Tartleton.

If you search for Coultons on FreeBMD, Tarleton is in the Ormskirk district.

Probable marriage:

Ormskirk  Q2 1910 vol 8b page 1241

If you get the marriage certificate, that will give you James' father's name and, with a bit of luck, James' age.


The son John's birth is Ormskirk, Q1 1913 8b, 1705

1891 census

Civil & Ecclesiastical Parish: Tarleton
Rural Sanitary District: Ormskirk

Address: Moss Side
William Coulton, Head, Married, age 65, Farmer, born Tarleton, Lancs
Maria Coulton, Wife, Married, age 37, born Tarleton, Lancs
Cathrine [sic] Coulton, Daur., age 2, born Tarleton, Lancs

The writing is very clear, and there really is that age difference between husband and wife!

Catherine's parents' marriage?

Ormskirk, Q4 1886, 8b, 1131

There's a William Coulton and a Maria Rigby on the same page
