My Great Grandfather was Walter Hallam. Born in Yoxall in 1868, died in Hucknall in 1946.
Any information about his past, or life story would be appreciated.

Have you looked for him on the censuses from 1871 - 1921? Also the 1939 register

I don't have access to Ancestry anymore unless I go to the public library. My interest is in the Peak District (and Stockport) Hallams. Steven Hallam has a very good website for the family...
