Hello,
I was doing some random searches for Tom Ball (my grandfather) when I
came accross your website.
Mary Jean Ball was my aunt so I thought I would give you a few more
details about her.
Although she was christened Mary Jean, she was known as Jean. she had
twin sisters, Holly Sarah and Ivy Margaret born 31 May 1913 at Charters
Towers as was Jean. Holly died of gastroenteritis on October 13, 1913 and
was buried on the family property "Rockvale" outside Nelia Queensland.
Ivy (my mother) was married September 7 1942 at Julia Creek, had 4
children and died July 24 1994. Jean had 2 daughters who are still living.
We knew jack collins as Egbert which was the name he used more. My
sister has a photograph of Jean & Egbert which I could obtain a copy if
you like.
Isn't tracing family trees fun? You never know what things turn up,
Annette Robson
