I agree with street. The William Balshaw I am looking for had a father Adam. Unfortunately William had a tendency to fudge the truth, so trying to track him down has proven to be very difficult. He was born in Barton Upon Irwell in 1886 to Adam and Mary Ann Balshaw. The only thing is always used was his actual date and month of birth 21 April, but he was very fuzzy on the year. He came out to South Africa, married, had a child, and then told his wife he was going out for a bit and just never returned! It is suspected that he went back to England.
I really do appreciate all the help. You guys are brilliant. Thank you.
