Find Ancestors

Might be worth trying Army records for info. They can help if you have a few dates etc .Jean

This may be a link to my grandfather,who spent much of his life in West Thurrock, Essex. My grandfather was named Percie and there was a brother, who as a child was always known as Bert, and my recollection was of him always wearing a bowler hat!
I seem to remember that there were possibly three or four brothers,possibly involved in the building trade. They built, or so I was told, the properties known as triangle terrace in West Thurrock
My mother and father lived in Stanford-le-Hope for some time before moving to West Thurrock, wwhere I was born
My daughter, Belinda Ballard, living at Ridley near Sevenoaks in Kent has managed to trace a number of Ballards in this line of ancestry.
