My paternal grandmothers maiden name was Ballam she was born in Lytchett Matravers Dorset at about 1909/1910 she had a brother called Daniel who was born in 1894, and 3 sister's Thirza born 1899, Kathleen born 1900, Ellen (Nell) born approx. 1897, they were all born in Lytchett Matravers Dorset. I also know that their father Daniel Ballam was born around 1859 in Lytchett Minster and was the Registrar of Births and Deaths. He was married to Sarah Lander who was also born in Lytchett Matravers in 1869. My grandmother and Kathleen moved to Eastleigh in Hampshire and Thirza emigrated to Canada after the 1st world war marrying a canadian soldier. Daniel eventually moved to Cornwall although Ellen (Nell) married and remained in Upton near Poole until her death. I now live in Australia and do not know of anyone still alive that can give me more information. Anyway should anyone be able to throw some light on anymore descendants perhaps you would let me know. |
