Dumfriesshire / Re: John Hall - Dumfries
« on: Tuesday 08 July 14 16:04 BST (UK) »
Hi,
My mother was talking about an ancestor from Dumfries. Actually the same John Hall you mentioned.
He was born in 1795 too and married Ann Harle. After my Great Grandma was born, Miranda Hall. She had a daughter Lilian and she had later on two dauthers Jaqueline (my mum) and Margreth (my aunt).
Have you got any pictures about the family tartan, or a link were i could get one?
best regards

Hi
At last I have my first Scottish Ancestor my 3rd Great Grandfather John Hall born 1795 in Dumfries. He states this on all Census transcriptions I have seen not just entering Scotland as most do. Never having ventured past the border whilst researching I am now at a standstill
He married a Ann Harle in Newcastle in Jun 1823 and produced 3 little Halls and was a Customs Officer/Tide Waiter from at least 1841 till 1871
Can anyone help me on finding his parents or pointing me in the right direction, I have spent a fair amount of time googling and checking a lot of Dumfries links and come up with a blank.
Any help/hints/tips would be appreciated
John Hall
