Title: Hallam Family
Post by: Jay Cee on Saturday 03 September 22 21:41 BST (UK)
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.

I have asked the moderator to move your post to the Staffordshire board.

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...
