Hi List I have just returned to this list after a long period away. My BALLINGER and BROWNING ancestors lived in Cheltenham from at least 1800 and I am gradually filling in the gaps. At the moment I am trying to find whether my BALLINGER family were renting a house between 1866 and c.1900 or whether they owned it. They lived in Elm Place which I believe is just off Swindon Road and by 1901 they were in Elm Cottage which was actually on Swindon Road. I do have documentation from Gloucester Record Office to show they bought a house in St Paul's Road North in October 1907. I can't easily get to Cheltenham so would be grateful if anyone were able to help me with this.
