Snowballs COMPLETED with thanks

[angelfish58]

I'm trying to find any info on the following:
Alexander Snowball b1826c Haydon Bridge married Ann Ferry 1847 and had 10 children, John 1848, William 1851, Joseph 1854, Jane A 1856, Isabella 1858, Robert 1860, Barbara 1865, Alexander 1867, Hannah 1869 and Elizabeth 1871.
By 1881 the family were living in Tudhoe. Any info much appreciated.

Hi Angelfish - Welcome to RootsChat 

What sort of information are you looking for? 

[angelfish58]

Hi Tati, well anything really, but particularly details of Alexanders parents and his date of death. I'm very new to this so am bumbling a bit, Elizabeth was my great grandmother so I have most of her details (except date of marriage) I think but I'm interested in fleshing out the details of the others, married names, children, occupations, dates of death absolutely anything. Also, if anyone has anything at all on Ann Ferry I would be very interested. Thank you.

I can't find him on the 1841 census.

The most likely marriage I see is:
March 1847 Vol 24 page 73
Durham registration district
Alexander Snowball to possibly Ann Ferry

The marriage cert would tell you Alexander's father's name ...

Thank you Vicars Wife, I've noted those marriage details. The Alexander Snowball b1816c is, I think, a different person, he seems to be the popular one.
