Title: 1841/1851 census - Lilleshall - Ball family
Post by: AliB on Thursday 21 September 06 18:35 BST (UK)
Id be really grateful if someone could look up 1841/51 census return details for Richard Ball and his family. Richard was born circa 1808 in Lilleshall, and had two sons that I know of (there could be other siblings) Richard Ball b.1841 Lilleshall and William Ball b.1845 Lilleshall.

I assume the family would be listed as living in Lilleshall, but could also be the surrounding area eg. St Georges, Wrockwardine Wood etc.

Many thanks in anticipation,
Ali
