Stone Street, Boxford

William Balaam born in Stone Street, Boxford in 1870 or thereabouts. He was my Grandfather's stepfather. Grandad often talked of Boxford. It is believed that later in William Balaam's life he became a Mayor or Lord Mayor - however, we are not certain which town in the UK he became Mayor of - because he moved to London at some stage and married in West Ham, Essex. His father's name was Walter Balaam. Hope someone living in Boxford, Suffolk remembers the Balaam Family.

Anne would like to know if you have any more info on William Balaam. My father William Balaam, whose father was William John Derek Balaam. Not sure which part of England he was from. My father does not know much of him since he was sent back to England during the Second World War.
