Percival Frederick Ball

[Ellie]

I'm trying to find a birth for Percival F Ball. He married a Sarah Ann Ford in Feruary 1927(in the district of Stoke and Wolstanton) and he was 25 years old which would make his birth about 1902. I don't know where he was born, His Father was named George Ball.Can anybody find him please?

Hi Ellie,

There nothing on the partial BMD index with a Percival with a middle initial F or name, the only other one is a Frederick Pervical Ball year 1901 district West Ham
Jul/Aug/Sep 1/4. Do you know any of Percivals siblings names and what is Georges occupation?

Thats all I know about Percival, but George was a master Butcher apparently. thanks

I think I'll have to give up on 'Percy' - I've tried everything I can think of to trace him- no joy But thanks to everyone for their help.

Just as an update, I came back to 'Percy' in my research recently, he's still as elusive.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about him to de-tangle this bit of my family "web", web being the operative word:2fun: But Thanks again to everyone whose tried to help with this, much appreciated
