I am researching the family of Thomas Ballard (b.1801, Dymock) son of John Ballard and Ann Skipp. I believe they lived at The Old Grange in Dymock. John was farming there in 1798 (Land Tax) and left in 1812 (auction notice Hereford Journal). Thomas had siblings Richard, James, Ann, Charles, Robert and Frederick.
Does anyone have any firm knowledge of John. He could be the John baptised at Dymock in 1766 the son of John and Sarah. Is it possible the family came from Much Marcle? There are several Ballards there in the 1690s onwards with similar forenames.
Any information on the family gratefully received.
