I was in the UK in July this year before I had tried to research the Hall line. I spent time in Devon and Cornwall trying to find information on my grandmothers side. Such a shame I didn’t know about my roots in Braunston. I have discovered that there were three generations so far of Halls that were boat people. Thank you so much for your very kind offer to show me around Braunston. It would be amazing to go to the narrow boat show and meet people who’s ancestors might of known my family. I would love to look around the cemetery across from All Saints church to see if any of my family are buried there. I’ll just have to save up and come back. The offer is extended to you here Jane if you ever come to Perth I would love to show you around.
Now I understand why my father hated the gypsies and he really did with a vengeance. I used to have lots of heated discussions with him when I was an idealistic teenager.
Thank you for the other photo of Alice gosh there is an amazing likeness. I will send you some pictures of my Halls and you will see. I will Google the 1920 boatman strike. Thank you also for that.
Thank you Jane
