BALLARD FAMILIES IN DOVER
Maintained by Ken Elks Copyright © 1999
This is an ongoing project and will be constantly revised.
Page introduced 4 January 2000
The Ballard surname appears in Dover from the early 17th Century onwards, though the association of my particular branch of the family is only from 1807, when my great-great-great-great grandfather Thomas Ballard married Ann Powell in St. Mary's Church. It is impossible to say how long he had been living in the town but the family was still living in Waltham, a village near Canterbury, when his father died in 1796.
At the present state of my knowledge, the following do not appear to be related to my Ballard family.
