Onehouse/Great Farnborough missing children
« on: Sunday 04 July 21 20:34 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find the children of John Balls of Onehouse and Mary Frost of Woolpit who were married on 25 Oct 1779 in Great Finborough. The problem is that too many children had parents named John & Mary Balls around the same time, so I am trying to narrow down the area.  So far I have found:
 
Son William, christened 5 Jan 1782 in Onehouse (parents just John & Mary Balls but right area).
Son John was christened on 18 May 1783 in Onehouse (parents Mary Frost & John Balls).
Daughter Alice was christened on 3 Feb 1788 in Great Finborough (parents Mary Frost & John Balls).

I would like to find any other children born between 1780 - 1781, 1784 - 1787, or 1789 - 1799.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you Dyingout  :)

In addition to the John Balls that was buried 31 May 1783, FS has the deaths of two other John Balls in Onehouse; one buried on 18 February 1781, the other buried 3 October 1785. Could these have been siblings? Are there any earlier christening records for any other John Balls? If so, do they name the parents?

Any help would be much appreciated  :)
