Plot x 180 Robert Ball (1766-1851)
Robert was born in 1766 in Weedon, a small village about four miles due north of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and baptised on 18th May 1766 that year. He was the son of Henry and Elizabeth (née Williams) Ball.
Research so far has failed to establish anything more about Robert’s parents, or his life until he appears in the 1841 census living with his daughter Hannah and son-in-law Thomas Matthews, a carpenter, in Castle Street, Berkhamsted. By then Robert was seventy five years old and presumably no longer able to carry on his given occupation of labourer.
He was still living with Thomas and Hannah in March 1851, but he died a few months later on 3rd August aged eighty four. His daughter Hannah, who died in 1865, is buried with him.
