Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Temple Junior Technical School, Bristol

Thanks, I have just searched that site.  There are some schools which might be the same one as William's but I suppose they will have changed their names over time.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Temple Junior Technical School, Bristol
« on: Friday 17 April 09 16:05 BST (UK)  »
My ancestor William HALL, born in Bolton, Lancashire in 1876 was Headmaster of Temple Junior Technical School, Bristol from 1917.  Would anyone have any knowledge of what type of school this would have been or even any knowledge of William himself?

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Leicester School Teacher in 1911
« on: Friday 30 January 09 13:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I have just discovered one of my relatives on the 1911 census working as a Secondary School Teacher in Leicester.  His name was William HALL and he was boarding with Walter BREEZE (described as an Elementary School Teacher) and his wife Eveline BREEZE at 17 Gimson Road, Leicester. 

Would anyone have any idea of which school could possibly be William's?  He is listed as a widower so must have been married since the 1901 census.

Hi Both

Thank you so much - the entries in 1939 and 1928 both refer to my Lilian Hall.  She was widowed in 1935, her husband having been my relative Joshua Hodgkinson Hall, and their son was James Bell Hodgkinson Hall.   I'm delighted to get the link with Richard Hall.

Can't yet identify the nephew P Neal but will hope to find out.

Thanks once more.

US Lookup Requests / Philadephia Passenger Lists

Hi

I'm interested in tracing the journey of Lilian Bell HALL (maiden name HAMER), born Salford, Lancashire in 1874 who is apparently on the above lists (Ancestry Worldwide 1800-1945).  I recently discovered (thanks to RootsChat members) that her brother-in-law, Richard HALL, was Vice President of Judson College, Alabama from 1914 to 1925 and would love to discover if her visit (if there was one) was connected to him.   Richard died in 1940.

Hi Kath and Shelly

Many thanks once again for your help.  All the facts tie up - Richard's father was born in Lancashire (and his grandfather Richard is mentioned in one of the books you've Googled for me) and his mother in Yorkshire; in addition, his mother's name was Emma Ellis Tetley, which fits with daughter Mary Ellis Hall.

I'm going to try to absorb all this information now and see what else I can find.  Thanks once again.

Stephanie.

Hi Kath

Many, many thanks for that.  I'd love to look at the census returns too.  I can't believe that this is where Richard ended up!  He started out helping his father James in their grocer's shop in Bolton, Lancashire.
