Hi B.C.Rayson,

Can you give a little more information? Looks like you have the 1861 Census entry but what led you to find them, was it the step-children? No obvious 1851 or 1841 Census entry for Charles Ballard and he seems to have died pre 1871.

Ballards in Woodstock Oxfordshire - nothing to do with me, but I noticed that the memorial to a son killed in WW1 has been moved to the vestry of the Methodist church after redecoration.  One of them wrote a local history & I think another was Town Clerk, so well dug in, from the look of it.

Hi Paul J Ballard.
Yes, it was the step-children that led me to them. I am trying to find her maiden name as she seems to have some kind of connection to a Chivers family (the one I am interested in ).  I can't find any evidence of Charles & Eliza having children so there is no birth certificate that will give me her maiden name. In view of the ages of both when they married it is pretty obvious the children were from a former marriage and it must have been hers, and, as you say, Charles died pre-1871. There is a possible later entry for the step-son with the name mis-spelled as Balard. Eliza appears to have been still going strong much later and on one census - think '91 but haven't got my files handy at the moment - she had her granddaughter living with her. Strange, that because the granddaughter's maternal grandmother was a Chivers prior to her marriage !!! and the paternal grandparents had a totally different name - Phipps. If you have anything that would help I will be very grateful.

Regards, B.C.Rayson
