Thank you slowhands and m p griffiths for those replies.

I'm beginning to suspect that Sarah Ball might have arrived at Westbury-on-Severn from another parish, and that the parish sent her son John Ball (re-baptised as Thomas Globe) to the London Foundling Hospital as he would have been a burden on the parish. This of course is all speculation. The Foundling Hospital had an open doors policy in 1759 and received literally thousands of children. The death rate however was 61% so not that many survived.

I have photos of the original Billet Book entry for John/Thomas and should anyone care to contact me, I can forward them.
