| | 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.

information is taken see: Memorials of Life and Death, Elizabeth Ritchie.
For notes on her part in the establishement of the Burwell British School

| William Riste Ball 1832-1908
born 8 May 1832, Burwell
baptized 12 August 1828, Burwell Independent Chapel
died 12 January 1908, Burwell 5
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this seems to have been revoked in a codicil of 17th March 1865.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'.

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.
