Hi. I doing some research for the Old Cornwall Society and i was reading about a Harry Ball who lived in LInkinhorne with his parents.  He wrote diaries about what was going on in liskeard back in the day and i found a photo of him. Apparently a well respected guy by all accounts. I would appreciate any stories about him. Thank you. Lily

Was he actually Frederick Harry Ball b 1885 Liskeard  Father Ezekiel & mother Mahala Amy?  He is Fred Ball on the 1901 but Harry in 1891 and 1911 and 1939.  His death reg is Harry

June qtr 1885 Frederick Harry Ball Liskeard 5c 47  mmn Edwards

Marriage 1882 between Ezekiel Ball & Mahala Amy Edwards in Liskeard

He was an only child and he does not appear to have married.  Given he died 62yrs ago you may struggle to find people who remember him
