Quick answer: Search online for the records, by church, rather than by surname.
go back to whomever told you where they were buried and ask for the source/details...

Is it on CityArk?

Is it on find-a-grave? Is it the church, or the cemetary?

ancestral links need to be verified by census, birth/baptism  & marriage certificates

who does walter go back to i beleive his father was walter ball  and priscilla beaney

   

You can find this info as follows:

You say he was b 1900.  Look him up on the 1939 register to get his full birthdate.  The only entry with a 1900 birthdate has a middle initial.  Yalding came under Maidstone RD

Look up his birth on freebmd then use GRO online to find his mmn

www.freebmd.org.uk
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

Use freebmd to find his parents marriage

Use the 1901/1911/1921censuses to get further info on the family - 1901 & 1911 census info is free on www.familysearch.org & 1921 payable on FindMyPast

If he married - his marriage cert will give his fathers name

Re: James Ball b 1844.  You don’t give any info as to when he died - just that you have him in the 1871 census?

I can’t see an 1871 entry with the profile given.  Was he born Wrotham or just living there?

Please post full details of the 1871 entry & advise as to when he died

  I can find no record of any Ball burials in Yalding.

[CaroleW]

There is no Walter Ball death in 1964 in Kent nor is there a birth in the Maidstone RD if he was allegedly b Yalding

3 births in Kent on freebmd 1899-1901 all with middle names

No 1901 or 1911 entry with a birthplace of Yalding so where are you getting your info from & what checks have you done to confirm it's correct?

[Top-of-the-hill]

  Walter Ball married Mercy Beaney "1928" Maidstone District.

  Walter Ball married Priscilla Beaney "1908" Otford. How close is Otford to Yalding? Not my part of the county!
   Correction - the banns were read 1908.

[CaroleW]

Look up Walter & Mercy Ball on the 1939 register - your birth year of 1900 for Walter is way out & if I have the right 1911 entry - his birthplace was not Yalding. 

If you believed his parents to be Walter & Priscilla - did you not look up their marriage on freebmd?  A 1908 marriage does not indicate a son b 1900.  Looking them up on the 1911 would also have given you his correct birthplace

Mercy Ball died in Nottingham in 1988

Hi Achoo,
I think you need to check your information sources.
For a veteran members post there seem to be a plethora of inaccuracies.
There doesn't appear to be any "Ball" Burials in either of the Yalding Churchyards . With all the helpful comments you have received you should find what you need.
When you have established correct names dates places etc.You will stand a much better chance of getting results . Good Luck.
