Adrian,
And that in itself is unusual isn't it?
There's a John B born 1761 in Dymock (IGI extracted) but that's a long way from Bristol isn't it? Mind you, had his parents moved to Bristol and he could remember growing up there so thought he was born there . . . . or somebody else gave erroneous information to the enumerator . . . . I suppose that had he been born in 1761 he might have been a bit ga-ga by 1841 so . . . . .
Regarding the enigma I told you of by P.M., I have no idea which could explain why the marriage is missing from BT's nor how/where the LDS managed to find the marriage dated before the date you found on the Licence.
Happy New Year

Not helpful to others who might be inclined to join in if you insist on discussing the details by PM!
Adrian, what resources have you checked and how can Rootschatters help?
Kind regards, Arranroots ;)

Hi Chas/Arranroots,
Well!!
I have checked quite a lot of PRs at the BRO and basicaly have drawn a blank trying to find the parents of WILLIAM BALLARD born circa 1750 as per an earlier post where i posted a timeline of the life events I have found relating to him. www.ballardgen.co.uk/1750_william_ballard_bristol.aspx
Basicaly I am looking at every BALLARD i can find in hope of stumbling over a nuget that will help me make a connection to his parents.
So if anybody has any resorces to hand that may contain BALLARD'S (BOLLARD - BALLERD or even BULLARD) Circa 1700'S or earlier I would appreciate the information.
Thanks very much, desperately yours
Adrian
