Person:Edward Ballard (3)

Assuming a birth year of about 1820 based on his daughters births in the 1840's and knowing that Edward lived in the first sub divided development in Sydney at the Grove, Cooks River.

Edward, his wife or any siblings were not in the newspaper announcements for his daughter, Elizabeth's death and funeral so that could indicate that either they had already passed away prior to her death or that they had moved away from Sydney and would not make it to the funeral and therefore they were not included in the announcements.

The only likely recorded death located in Sydney was in 1901 from the NSW BDM yet the Find a Grave index shows that this Edward Ballard was 62 when he died and therefore could not be the father of Elizabeth and Charlotte.
