Ballam
« on: Friday 27 September 19 14:53 BST (UK) »
Hi
I know this a very long shot but I am looking for info on a picture that was sent to me, it was of my father and I am guessing he was maybe in his twenties. He is with a young girl but no one knows who she was.  If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

Hello Aynn,

Is your father deceased? If so, when & also where was he born?

We are not permitted to name the living on this forum. Is there a chance the young lady may still be alive?

Would this be the death of your father?

2002/13186   Ballam   William Hawkesby   29 January 1931   

Where was he living around the time you think the photograph may have been taken?

Looks like there may have been 2 gents with the name in reply #2.  One lived in the Hauraki electoral roll area in 1954 and 1957.

minniehaha, I had observed there was an older one, but hadn't pursued that line of research to separate the ER entries.  ;)

Is the photograph an ordinary snapshot? Or does it have a photographer's stamp on the reverse?

Added:

Possibly taken at a wedding? Confetti in the young lady's hair?

Hi all:
I will try to answer the questions here, My father has passed away B 1931 D 2002, The picture is a snapshot, form his albums I was thinking that it was a high school dance or graduation. may or may not have been taken in Paeroa. I have no idea if she would still be alive as I don't know who she is. If not allowed please remove. there is a second William Hawksby Ballam my great grandfather, he has also passed..lol
Thanks for the help

I was thinking a dance, as the rolled up sleeves might have been a bit too informal for a wedding - ??

Paeroa would fit the Hauraki area in the electoral rolls.
