Who Are These People?

John Ball was the second son of Henry and Betty Ball, and Ellen Ball’s uncle. Margaret Ball (née Harrison) was John’s wife (we have not tied her to the Harrison side of the family). Lucy and Daniel were their children but we know little about them at this time.

Location of the Grave

The grave is directly behind (east of) the parish office building (see map).
