Seem to be online at FS thios afternoon (at least for South Normanton baptisms)
I'm just wondering whether there was any evidence to show who that Francis Ball (married to Hannah Alsop) 's parents were. The Derbyshire burials for S. Norm on Ancestry has a Francis Ball buried on April 13th 1825. I must admit that I read the handwritten age given as 49 years (giving a year of birth as about 1775) whereas the Ancestry transcriber has interpreted it as 29 years giving a birth year of 1796.
Incidentally Francis and Hannah had two daughters named Mary (1817 and 1822). Burial records would be compatible with them both dying in infancy.
