Haha my mother used to go to school with a Theresa Green. Everytime she said her name all her friends would chorus 'yes, we know'! Poor girl. I bet she couldn't wait to get married.

I wonder if that GOLDEN was related to the CHARITY BALLS I found. I do feel that her relatives were policemen. Jan

I was looking for my grandfathers family on the 1901, name of BALL and came across a Golden BALLS Brenda, I wonder if they had overdosed on the rum when the census was taken.
