Robert F Ballard

Born: 1928-01-01 12:00:00
Gender: Male
Place of migration: Migrated to/Born in UK

I’m looking for a Robert F Ballard born in Drogheda in 1928. His parents were William Ballard b 1781 and Ann McBride b 1791. I think both born in Dublin. I have tracked them to Liverpool and on to Cumberland Portland Maine USA. William died in Liverpool. Ann took the family to the States.

Robert’s parents are my 4x great grandparents. I cannot find any info on his birth or what faith the family are from.

Any assistance is appreciated.

regards
