Balls family from Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft
« on: Tuesday 27 March 18 13:30 BST (UK) »
Hi, I have started tracing my dads side of the family who have the surname Balls my dad grew up In Lowestoft but his grandparents were originally from Great Yarmouth - Arthur Sidney Balls married Esther Burch. Arthur’s parents were William Samual Balls and Mary Ann or Anne they had 7 children including Arthur Sidney. Edward William, Emily Maria, Amelia. Edith  May, Fredrick and Lambert George ( Possibly George Lambert). I know lambert exists as we have photos and have found records on him on line but can not link to my family line and can not find any census with him on. Can anyone help? He was born 25 Th Sept 1891 and died at sea in Malta on 27Th April  1916

Hi and welcome to Rootshat, was George in the Merchant/Royal Navy?
Arthur Sidney 14 and Frederick 11 are with what looks like their brother Edward William 32 and wife Lilian in Grimsby?

Hi, great thank you for you help  :D, yes lambert was on HMS Russell as a Stoker. It does make things hard when they keep using different names ha ha. Silly question how to I use the national archives? Do I need to pay monthly etc?
