Biographical data

Name: Ball, Alfred

Also known as: Dr. Alfred Ball

Born: 1826

Died:

Notes:

Steve Mann gives year of birth as 1825-1826 or possibly 1827 and suggests that he died somewhere between 1891 and 1901 because of his absence in the 1901 census. Walker in Bell's Life in London (1 Aug. 1868, p.10) has 'J.A. Ball', presumably in error.
