Maria was born before her parents married. It is therefore uncertain whether Israel Ball was her father or step-father. Nevertheless, there are several reasons which seem to point to Israel being the father. Firstly, we know that Israel and Maria's mother, Ann Dearing, were due to be married whilst Ann was expecting Maria because the banns were read in February 1838, although the marriage didn't take place until two years later. A weaker argument is that Israel is named as Maria's father on her marriage certificate, even though he's down as Israel Dearing (this mistake could easily have been made if the minister asked Maria what her father was called and she answered Israel. The vicar may then have assumed the surname was the same as Maria's). Finally, the young Maria might have been named after Israel's own mother, Maria (nee Edwards).
