John married Ellen Sanderson, daughter of Lancelot Sanderson and Elizabeth Stamp, on 13 Mar 1846 in Maitland, Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia.1 The marriage ended in separation on 17 Jul 1852. (Ellen Sanderson was born on 2 Apr 1829 in Narellan, New South Wales, Australia 8, christened on 9 Aug 1829 in Narellan, New South Wales, Australia,9 10 died on 24 Jun 1892 in Maitland, Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia 11 and was buried on 26 Jun 1892 in Morpeth, Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia 12.). The cause of her death was Liver cancer.
Marriage Notes:
James was baptised at age three months and for some unknown reason, Elizabeth was baptised again.
Mary Ann and Lydia Ellen were both baptised in St James Church at Morpeth. No father's name was recorded in the baptism register only that of the mother, Ellen Ballard a laundress, abode Morpeth.
Lydia Ellen died young at Morpeth in 1867 and was buried in Morpeth cemetery.
In 1870 another daughter, Emma, was born and baptised by the Methodist minister at Tamworth. The parents names, John and Ellen Ballard appear in the baptism record and the place of abode was Bendemeer in the Tamworth district. Emma died the same year, 1870. In the following year, 1871, Louisa Jane, married at Bendemeer.
It appears Ellen and John with their two daughters, Louisa Jane and Mary Ann, moved to the Peel River area between 1867 and 1870. It is not known what prompted the Ballard family to move but their 18 years old son, James, had taken a position with the post office in 1867 at Tamworth and this may have had some bearing on their decision.
Ten years later, in 1880, they were joined by their eldest daughter, Elizabeth, her husband and children.
Elizabeth and her family returned to Newcastle sometime before 1888 and perhaps Ellen and John did too, as John died aged 62 years in 1887 and was buried at Maitland.
