Elizabeth Ann Ballard, born 6 January 1841, bap. Charlton on 12 February 1841. Note: There is an Elizabeth Ann Ballard who marries an Edward Sutton, mariner RN, in Charlton on 28 October 1861 but her father's name is given as George Ballard. If she was the daughter of Richard Ballard then this may be a subterfuge as she would have been underage. An Elizabeth Ann Ballard has two illegitimate children born in the Union Workhouse, Emily (1 February 1858) and Ann Elizabeth (31 December 1860). The latter child died in March 1861. |
