Bernard Watson  Head 59

George Hall  32  Teacher  Jedburgh

I'd like a look up please for Bernard and family in 1851 and if daughter Jean is not with them then a look up for her also in 1851.

Also looking for George HALL in 1851 and 1841. According from his death reg in Australia his father is Robert but I'm not sure how accurate that would be if the informant didn't know his mother's name. It's not a certificate on my list to purchase so I'll do what I can to fill gaps without it. George is listed as 54 on the 1883 shipping record and 83 in 1911 when he died.

George HALL & Jennie P. WATSON
Marriage 8 Aug 1867  Rosemarkie, Ross and Cromarty

Thanks,

Fred

I had a look for George but none really fitted the 1861 one. The  nearest was a teacher of music b. England. What was his father's occupation on the marriage cert?  If they married in Scotland, it would give both parents' names.

Hello Gadget,

I don't have a copy of the marriage yet.  I've been looking at the birth/baptism records on SP and FS and have found two only:

George born 1 Feb 1829 Crailing
- parents Thomas Hall & Jane Laidlaw

George born 28 May 1826 Castleton
- parents Thomas Hall & Agness Ingles


But here is one George, a shepherd, aged 22 in 1851 - parents Andrew & Helen. He appears in 1861 married and still a shepherd so he is ruled out.

There does not seem to be one who fits in 1841 and 1851.

Hi Fred

Only about 30% of the OPR Baptisms have survived so he might not show. I've checked the marriage cert.

Robert Hall was a builder. I think I might have found a 'mortality record' for a Robert Hall in Jedburgh on 19 Jan 1841:

Robert Hall, plasterer, abode - Jedburgh.  Aged 46. Cause - decline.

I'm still looking for his mother - a Margaret Hallans(?)

Some possibles for Robert and Margaret for  you to consider in Northumberland:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JS2Q-DB1 - father was George!

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NK1X-N51

Jedburgh is very much a Borders town and, being a builder/plaster, Robert could well have moved about.

Hello Gadget,

Thank you very much.

I have found an Obituary that has the following:

Quote
...
The late Mr. Hall was born in Gallashiels, Scotland, in 1828, and was the eldest son of Mr. Robert Hall, head of the firm of Robert Hall and Sons, Builders and Architects. He married in 1866, Jeanie Pratt, daughter of Bernard Watson, of Fortrose. He was educated at Edinburgh University, and was Rector of Ayr (Scotland) Academy for some years previous to coming to Brisbane, ...

No sign of a birth/baptism record for a George HALL with father = Robert in Scotland 1826 - 1834.
