Hi Melissa
I've not been on this site for  a while.
I'm very interested to learn more about your links in the Ball family. It's a part of my tree that has always proved very difficult.
On Percival F Ball's marriage certificate ( to Sarah a Ford ) it states that his father was George Ball  (master butcher) it also lists him as deceased in 1927 when the marriage took place. It gives Percivals occupation as a motor omnibus driver. They were living at an address in Fenton Staffordshire. DOES this match any of your records.
Thanks  :)

I can't help much with Percy but a few points I might be able to clarify. There was a Thomas Ball, shopkeeper in Fenton according to the 1896 directory. My father also worked for W G Ball colour manufactures based in Longton (the family lived out at Hilderstone). Myatt and Leese were both monumental masons and undertakers repectively. John Myatt was my godfather.
