I have been looking for information for about 5 years about my grandfather who is named Burrell Charles Ball first married to Doreen Roxie Morcombe (from Omemee) and then afterward I think Estelle Ball was his wife. Burrell’s brother I know was from Emily Twp, Albert and he died a few years back and Burrell died around 1993 but I do not know when, where, how etc.
Also Russell Charles Ball was their father and I believe he lived in Lakefield but there is little information about any of them. I know there was a fire in Russell’s Lakefield home where he had Burrell, Albert and Barbara E. Ball (I think). He was married to Julia Secreta Wood that I believe died when she was young. Where can I go to find out more information?
