*completed* Lookup Robert Gall *completed*
« on: Wednesday 16 July 08 22:48 BST (UK) »
I have a Robert Gall born 11 August 1810 in Crawfordjohn and have found him working at Netherhill Stable as an Agricultural Laborer in 1841 but have been unable to find him after that, though I found his death 5 May 1873.

I would like to know where he was in the intervening years and if he ever got married.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your help Carole will look harder in 1861 to try and find him and can now rule out any marriage or children

Kindest Regards

I think Agnes Dodds was their step mother.

This looks like it could be William Gall's marriage to Agnes Dodds

WILLIAM GALL   AGNES DODDS 
  Marriage:  30 APR 1822   Crawfordjohn

Hi Capricorn

You have made my day as that MI is a blessing and new person Micheal Gall who I did not have and now will try and find.

I have all the people on the MI and now can fill in missing information.

William Gall did marry Agnes Dodds and he had another 6 children by her including my GG Grandfather Andrew Gall giving him a total of 11 children. (12 now including Micheal Gall)

Thank you very much for your help

Kindest Regards

Ian
There is an error in the MI for Crawfordjohn quoted in previous post.
I have seen the headstone (and have a direct transcription and photo omy own somewhere) and it does not say "erected by Michael". i have a book of cfj kirkyard inscriptions which seems to be the source of the error.

This info should save you a lot of unnecessary search time!
