• General Notes

  Frank Tippin Ballard in his diary written late in life (in the possession of Ralph Ballard) records that:
  "Her husband Stephen Gilbert died young.  She had 3 children by him - Edward, Florence, and Tom Henry.
  She later remarried Thomas Foxall from Bridgeworth.
  Thomas and Mary had 2 children - Bertha and Elsie Foxall.
  Bertha married George Williams, a post office employee.  They had a son Lennie.
  Elsie married Jack Blackham.
  Mary's sister had a daughter Florence who moved to London.  She married Alf Williams, a wool brokers clerk.
  Mary's sister, Rose Tune, was only a few years older than Florence Gilbert and they both went to the same convent boarding school after Mary remarried Thomas Foxall.
  Rose Tune later married John Coley a veteran of the Boer War where he served with the Coldstream Guards.  They had 2 children - Harold and Olive. 
  Mary's brother Ted was a seasonal worker doing hop picking, fruit picking and general farm work.
  Between jobs he would stay with his niece Florence Gilbert and her husband Frank Ballard senior."
