Biographical history
The register of midwifery cases was possibly compiled by Thomas Ballard, an obstetrician practising in Southwick Place, Hyde Park, London. Ballard became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1843, and licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries in 1844. He studied at St Georges Hosptial, and obtained his doctorate from St Andrews University in 1862. Ballard was a member of the Harveian Society, a fellow of the Royal Medical Chirurgical and Obstetrical Society, and a member of the Pathological Society.

George Leslie Eastes suggests that the volume probably came to his father on the death of Thomas Ballard. Ballard was a close neighbour to the practice of George Eastes in Albion Place, London, and subsequently took over Ballard's practice when he died.
