Hello,
Benjamin Richard Ballendine was my uncle. I heard that he had married a woman in England, and had a son. I have never found out more information than that. Benjamin died of cancer, and has only one surviving sibling left, Doreen Gillies. She is not in very good health, so if you would like to get in touch with her, I will give you her number.
Sincerely, Joyce Yvonne Mary Krilow, nee Ballendine,
Daughter of Thomas Ballendine,
Granddaughter of John Ballendine.
