2 Balls or just the 1?

The grave of Frederick Ball. But looking at the second part of the stone am I right in thinking another Frederick Ball is buried here or is the nephew, and his aunt and uncle wanted a mention on the grave?

There are two people, both called Frederick Ball, -the first died aged 18 and he was the uncle of the second Frederick Ball who was of course the nephew of the first one buried in that grave.The  first  must have been   brother to the mother of the second , what is puzzling is the second is named as Frederick Ball yet his parents are Wm Ed & Elizth Rundell, this one was only months old, perhaps it is a monumental error-----if you will excuse the pun and he ought to have been called Rundell. Another possibility is he was not WmEd `s son , but born before he and Elizth (Ball) married ,yet  as he was only months old that seems hardly likely . Have you looked the deaths up? I`d like to see exactly what the writing is at the bottom of the grave. Let us know what you find out. Vkitoria.

About as clear as a politicians conscience!

Two people but, I think, just one BALL.  The nephew has Ball as his middle name - surname RUNDLE.

Erm....this is very confusing!

[Viktoria]

I think Christine has got it right,Viktoria.

So the last one is Frederick Rundle?

I agree with Christine only one Ball. The other a Ball Rundle.
