Introduction

This page contains a list of all the entries for the family name BALLS that are held within the Gravestone Photographic Resource online database.

A family name is where there is a surname as the last name of the forenames. This was a common practice before the middle of the 20th century.

It is very easy for you to check to see if there are any alternative spellings: you just need to look at the page that shows all the names listed under the starting letter (B in this case) of the surname you are interested in.

Please note that all ages and dates of birth in red have been calculated and are probably not on the monument.

You should treat the calculated dates of birth with caution as the ages given on monuments are often inaccurate. The dates and ages on many monuments are also often hard to read. It is therefore important to use the dates as guides as they may be incorrect.

The same person may appear many times in the above list. This is because a person can easily be listed on many different monuments. For instance, a person could be listed on their own grave as well as on the gravestone monuments of their children and their spouse. Occasionally names will be duplicated because the monument has in error been photographed and indexed twice.

Where a relationship is shown as unknown, this usually means that parts of the monument are illegible and relationship cannot be read.

Where no relationship is given this means that this is normally the first name on the monument. All the relationships on any particular monument relate to this first named individual.

In most cases images are available. However sometimes they will unavailable. In many cases this is because although images have been taken they were unfortunately lost when the resource suffered a major computer fault and not all the images could be recovered.

BALLS / WILDING: Googled, and there he was!
Simply Googled an ancestor's full name and up came the site! Very pleased to have a good quality photo - and such an unusual type of gravestone at that. Glad to have found this resource. Impressed by the rapid response and the amount of effort which has obviously gone into setting up and maintaining this website.

Thank you
I was in Suffolk recently visiting my great aunts grave. I did not know where my great uncles grave was. I located it on returning home and feel sad I missed the opportunity to visit it. However this resource of Charles Sale’s has enabled me to see his grave. Much appreciated.
