Title: 2 Balls or just the 1?
Post by: Vasquez109 on Sunday 18 October 09 21:24 BST (UK)
The grave of Frederick Ball. But looking at the second part of the stone am I right in thinking another Frederick Ball is buried here or is the nephew, and his aunt and uncle wanted a mention on the grave????

There are two people, both called Frederick Ball, -the first died aged 18 and he was the uncle of the second Frederick Ball who was of course the nephew of the first one buried in that grave.The  first  must have been   brother to the mother of the second , what is puzzling is the second is named as Frederick Ball yet his parents are Wm Ed & Elizth Rundell, this one was only months old, perhaps it is a monumental error-----if you will excuse the pun and he ought to have been called Rundell. Another possibility is he was not WmEd `s son , but born before he and Elizth (Ball) married ,yet  as he was only months old that seems hardly likely . Have you looked the deaths up? I`d like to see exactly what the writing is at the bottom of the grave. Let us know what you find out. Vkitoria.

Two people but, I think, just one BALL.  The nephew has Ball as his middle name - surname RUNDLE.

I agree with Christine only one Ball. The other a Ball Rundle.

At least they're consistant.  Frederick the elder (if you can call an 18 year old elder) does not have his surname either - simply Frederick......son of John and Elizabeth Ball.

Strange though. Sharing a grave with your nephew?

Not as strange as sharing a grave with 2 wives.  ;D
