Hi there I am posting my interests in Herefordshire. My partcular interest is in BALLARD family which seems to have lived in border area of Glos and Herfordshire around Dymock, Much Marcle, Ledbury, Colwall. In particular I am seeking ancestors of Thomas BALLARD (b.1801, Dymock) son of John (b.1766? Dymock) and Ann BALLARD (m.1786 Dymock). They may be connected with the Much Marcle Ballards including John (b.1708, Much Marcle, d.1790, aged 82, Dymock.) Any information on Thomas' forbears gratefully received. I believe there was a connection to the SKIPP family of Ledbury and Colwall. Thanks Bob Parsons
