NotesIn 1907, William D Ball, 11, arrived at Portland, Maine, USA, in a group of 349 Barnardo children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

On October 24, 1913, William D. Ball, 17, farm laborer, was debarred (along with another Barnardo boy, Henry Chaffin) from entering the United States through the port of Detroit, Michigan. He declared that he resided in Kingsville, Canada; that his nearest relation was his brother, George Ball, who resided at 125 Sandwich Street, East Windsor, Canada; and that his final destination was Detroit, Michigan.

[POSSIBLE MATCH] On July 5, 1915, at Windsor, Ontario, Canada, William Ball, 21, enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that he was born in Birmingham, England; that his next of kin was his mother, Mrs. Annie Ball, who resided at 35 Upper Cox Street, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England; that his date of birth was February 27, 1894; that he was a seaman; and that he was not married. He was described as 5 foot 6 inches in height; fair complexion; blue eyes; brown hair. He was a member of the Church of England. He had a scar on his right leg.

On October 8, 1916, Private William Ball was missing, presumed killed at Courcelette, France.
