galls in broughty ferry,dundee
« on: Thursday 27 October 05 18:46 BST (UK) »
I'm seeking help about the gall family in the lifeboat service in  Broughty Ferry between 1920 and early 1950.
I found out about this on a visit to broughty Ferry three years ago but was unable to pin down any actual connection to my family other than a close resemblance of my Father to all the Gall's pictured in the book "Standing into Danger" by Andrew Jeffrey.

hi all  :)

the original post was posted some time ago but in light of the fast approaching
anniversary of the "Mona" disaster you might find this site of some interest
there are a few mentions of Galls in the history section

Many Thanks Sheel41,My Fathers name was William Henderson Gall, and as far as I know he wasn't in the RNLI.He was born in Dundee 1906  and  moved to Stirling, before marrying in 1935.
My G/G/Grandfather James Gall was stated to be a Ships Carpenter it ws for this
