THE STORY AS I KNOW IT

Margery Ball  was born  in Hurst, Berkshires, England   and christened Jan 27, 1634/5.  Her father was Rafe Ball, mother unknown. from Hurst Berkshire Parish Registers, 1622-1641 film number 1279460.

There were numerous Balls in and near Hurst in the 17th century.  George Ball and Rafe Ball both married women named Margery.  However, the children of George came too late for them to be our Margery, re her marriage date.  So the accepted data is that Margery Ball, born 1634 in Ruscombe, Berkshires to parents Rafe Ball and Margery Crockford Ball is the one that I accept for now.  I would like marraige documentation.  Ruscombe and Hurst are only a few miles apart just southwest of Maidenhead.  The Ball family probably had multiple children with the same name scattered around Berkshires.  The Pedegree of Passmore of Bray follow the George Ball line.

Margery Ball  married William Passmore, it is said in Hurst, but the record is not in the Hurst Berkshire Parish Registers.  It could well be missing as are all marriage records from 1610 - 1633. The date usually given is Jan 6, 1654.  This is from the Pedegree of Passmore of Bray.

They had one known child:
William Passmore, born 1655

It is believed that Margery Ball Passmore died in 1698, but I have no idea where that came from.  Not the Hurst parish Registers. All that can be said for sure is that she died after 1655.  It is not known when William Passmore, her husband died.
