Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 583 Send Message	Im just starting on the trail of my fathers family. His name was Robert Sidney Ball born 20th Feb 1917 in Mount Abu, India. This was a British Military Station. I think his parents names were Emily and Fred. The family home was in Ringwood, Hampshire. There were siblings - William, John George and I think there was another brother and maybe a sister. My father married Kathleen and I have a brother named Robert and a sister whose name is Maureen. I know that John settled in the Bournemouth area and George and his wife Margaret settled in Aldersot. I must have lots of cousins on my paternal side - sad that we don't know each other really. Can anyone please shed some light? Does any of this sound vaguely familiar to you or someone you know? Please help - if you know anything - however small it seems - it will be important to me. My thanks. Lucy.
