Started my tree on my mother’s side but already hit a snag.
My grandfather
Roy Edgar Martin. 27/10/1921. Tadcaster, Yorkshire.
But born Ball.
Not found on any census due to joining RAF in 1938. While in service changed his name to Martin.
His mother Marion Ball 16/04/1902 York, Yorkshire.
On the 1911 census but nothing there after.
His brother Terrance Ball 1924 birth record but nothing else.
Nothing at all about his father no name no nothing, his mothers mother Rachel Ann Gray 1876-1945 married a guy named George Henry Martin after William Ball ( Marion’s father) but nothing else that links the name to my grandfather.
