Flintshire / RHODES/BALL & BALLS BARN
« 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.

The Common Room / Re: Name change in mid-life - WHY?

Hello there, interesting posting. I would have thought for religious reasons; that he had changed his church. He did not have a friend or family member who died so he changed in his name in their memory, did he?

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Permission to marry
« on: Friday 20 November 20 19:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters,
My fourth great grandmother, Elizabeth Rhea married Thomas Graham in 1822 in Hutton Buscel, Yorkshire. They were both born elsewhere although 'of this parish' at the time of their wedding. (They were to remain and have all their family there). I noticed that after the calling of the banns, permission was granted by a John Dick (or Dirk) for their marriage and he stood as one of the witnesses along with two other people. I do not think John Dick was actually family. It has crossed my mind that he might have been Elizabeth's employer and as she was slightly under twenty-one at the time, that he was acting 'in loco parentis'. What do you think? Have you come across this?

Thank you, GrahamH. I am delighted with that piece of information. I did not have the knowledge to work that out for myself although doing the family tree I have learned a bit more about the cotton industry than I ever knew before. I would not have known which mill they worked in. To use a colloquial saying 'I am chuffed with that'.

Yes, you are quite correct. Absence of 'deceased' doesn't mean he didn't die. I'm just keeping options open. And yes, GrahamH, Derbyshire CRO will be my next stop. I intend to plan a visit in about a month's time. I have booked there before. I did find it strange that William and Sarah were down as living in Hadfield in 1884 as both of them were living in Tintwistle in the Christchurch parish in 1881 and all their three children were born in Tintwistle but all the family members [including the witnesses] check out as the right people so I will have to go with that. I found the Matlock CRO very helpful and the rootschatters input has been a real boon - thank you all very much.
