BALL. My Father ALBERT CHARLES EDWARD BALL born approx 1926 in West ham, London. He was the only child of Albert Ball and Dorothy Ellen Ball (nee COOK). My Father had lots of cousins and over the years lost contact. My Grandad ALBERT SAMUEL BALL had six sisters with whom I have no details on and also two brothers called JAMES BALL & CHARLES BALL. Does anyone have any information regarding this family? I thank you in advance for your help. very best wishes abigail
