Title: RHODES/BALL & BALLS BARN
Post by: Misha77 on Sunday 05 September 21 11:40 BST (UK)

Dear Rootschatters,
My grandfather, George Rhodes (son of Joseph Rhodes and Evelyn Emma Rhodes nee Ball) was born in Flintshire and christened at St. Matthew's Church, Buckley, in 1912.  The family give their place of residence as 'Balls Barn'.  Evelyn Emma's father was called George Ball and the family go back several generations (that I can find) in Flintshire.  They were mostly miners and colliers.  Joseph came from over the border and had Cheshire/Derbyshire connections mostly employed in the cotton industry. 

My question is: where is Balls Barn?  I can find a Ewloe Barn.  Is it the same place or something else?

If anyone has any information or advice I would be really pleased to have it.

Many thanks.

It was just off Drury Lane where the Balls family were living in censuses.
