trying to put 'some bones' on your request.....

Assume this could be a relative of yours (old message Gloucestershire Rootsweb 2006)

'My particular interest is in John BALLARD who I think originated from Kempley. Born circa 1760 possibly married Ann SKIPP in Dymock 1786. This needs confirmation. Seems to have dotted about Herefordshire/Gloucester border. Children born in Fownhope and Dymock in 1780-1800s.

My particular interest is in his son Thomas 1801-94 who worked with his brother James as a paper stainer in Marylebone after 1841. Thomas married Ann REDMOND or REDMAN in Marylebone in 1844. Thomas said he was born at The Grange which I believe is in Dymock and may be connected to the SKIPP family'
