Now Elizabeth is much better, but still the pain in her side and cough shocking! Oh! to look on a sister and feel that the hand of consumption is laid there... but Elizabeth did not die until 1854 Thomas Thwaites Ball 1822-1901 born 17 May 1822, Burwell baptized 11 July 1822, Independent Chapel, Burwell died 5 July 1901, Lowestoft  married (1) 22 February 1849 St. Margaret's Church, Lynn Mary Saddleton Marsters 1825-1876  married (2) 3 October 1877 Chipping Warden, Northampton Eliza Mary Ann Davidson circa 1838-before 1901 Charlotte Ball born and died 1824 born 5 February 1824, Burwell 4 died 11 August 1824, Burwell children of Edward Ball and Ann Cadywold Sarah Ball 1827-1845 born 9 May 1827 baptized 21 September 1827, Burwell Independent Chapel died 26 October 1845, Burwell Notes: The chief characteristics of her childhood were delight in reading and abhorrence of falsehood. When 9 years old, she was placed in the Moravian school at Bedford. The religious engagements of that fraternity solemnised her mind ... . The next remove of our young friend was to W.... in Suffolk. [presumably to a school there?] This took place in the summer of 1841, when in her 15th year. In the summer of 1844 Sarah bade farewell to W..... She died of consumption at the age of eighteen after having nursed her elder sister Elizabeth in that disease. For more notes from the memorial of Sarah Ball from which the above information is taken see: Memorials of Life and Death, Elizabeth Ritchie. For notes on her part in the establishement of the Burwell British School see extracts from 'Looking Back, a brief retrospect'. Edward Ball 1828-1842 born 16 September 1828 baptized 2 October 1828, Burwell Independent Chapel died 6 June 1842, Burwell buried Burwell Independent Chapel burial ground Notes: In the spring of the following year [1842] ...

(quoted from Memorials of Life and Death, Elizabeth Ritchie) Salisbury Ball 5 born and died 1830 born 16 June 1830, Burwell 6 died 30 July 1830 7 William Riste Ball 1832-1908 born 8 May 1832, Burwell baptized 12 August 1828, Burwell Independent Chapel died 12 January 1908, Burwell 8 Notes: He seems to have been mentally handicapped. From what my grandmother told me (very guarded information given to a child and only vaguely remem- bered) he didn't grow up but remained mentally a small child. In his will dated 31st May 1859 his father, Edward Ball, made provision for the establishment of a trust to look after the money he left to William, but this seems to have been revoked in a codicil of 17th March 1865. Up to the death of his mother in 1879 all the censuses record him as living with his parents. In the census of 1881, after the death of his mother, he is recorded living in North Street, Burwell, with carers. He is there recorded as being an 'imbecile'. Susannah Ball 1833-1890 born 29 December 1833 baptized 31 August 1834, Burwell Independent Chapel died 6 July 1890, Begelly, Pembrokeshire, Wales Notes: At the census of 1881 she was with her brother Frederick in Hoxton. Her membership notes from the Burwell Independent Chapel state that she removed to Wollaston, near Wellingborough, Northants (Frederick was vicar there from 1881 to 1884 and she died in Begelly, Pembrokeshire so presumably they lived together at least from 1881 until her death. Salisbury Ball 1836-1896 born 18 May 1836, Burwell baptized 27 November 1836, Burwell Independent Chapel died 28 November 1896, Burwell buried Burwell Vault  married 26 November 1862 Halifax parish church Emily Fielding 1838-1919 Frederick Ball 1838-1917 Easton Mauduit, Northants 1905 - 11 (1905) born 17 January 1838, Burwell died 15 September 1917, The Villa, Grendon, Northamptonshire buried Easton Mauduit, Northants Notes: In 1881 he was living at 71 Herbert Street, Shoreditch as the Vicar of St. Mary's Hoxton and his sister Susan was living with him. At the time of the 1901 census he was a lodger in the house of Harry Yeatman and his family at Chedworth, Morley Road, Bournemouth.
