If this is the right James, it looks as if he didn't marry Ann - unless Martha is a second wife:

I can see a couple of marriages of Ann Baracloughs after Aug 21 1821 - I don't know if either of them is your particular Ann. Apparently no parents' names mentioned - unless they're on the original documents, which aren't on Ancestry or FS

From FamilySearch:

Ann Baraclough
England, Warwickshire, Parish Registers
Name John Lowe
Event Type Marriage
Event Date 20 Sep 1821
Event Place Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England
Gender Male
Marital Status Single
Spouse's Name Ann Baraclough
Spouse's Marital Status Single



Ann Baraclough
England, Warwickshire, Parish Registers
Name George Aldridge
Event Type Marriage
Event Date 02 Sep 1821
Event Place Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England
Gender Male
Spouse's Name Ann Baraclough


But if she didn't marry, there are also these deaths:

Deaths Dec 1838 (>99%)
Baraclough Ann Nuneaton 16 264

Deaths Mar 1860 (>99%)
Baraclough Ann Nuneaton 6d 212

Deaths Mar 1861 (>99%)
Baraclough Ann Nuneaton 6d 228

Ah, but -

Birth of James's son Robert:

Robert Ball
in the England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
Name: Robert Ball
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 15 Nov 1820
Baptism Place: Nuneaton,Warwick,England
Father: James Ball
Mother: Martha
FHL Film Number: 548398, 555361, 555362

So that can't be your Ann's James - unless he pulled back from committing bigamy!

There were other earlier children too , assuming their parents were the same James and Martha as above -

Mary Ann 1818; Sarah 1816; Thomas 1813; James 1806; William 1808.

So this will be that James's marriage to Martha:


James Ball
mentioned in the record of James Ball and Martha Cheatham
Name James Ball
Spouse's Name Martha Cheatham
Event Date 21 Aug 1803
Event Place Nuneaton,Warwick,England
