Hi Pat. As you know, there are a few John/Margaret Hall's of Clack. This is why if the MI of the John Hall who died 1860 included his wife as Margaret McNaughton everything else would fall into place. Cheers, Golfer.

Thanks Anne. I apologize if I'm in err for making a similar post. I was hoping that a new reader would see this posting and was in a position to take action. Cheers, Golfer.

Pat. Unfortunately still no birth certs for John, Francis, or Rbt Bruce. I have based John Hall's verification of parents and his wife's name from his death register. Also known marriage to Jane Chalmers. Death: d. 10 Aug 1895 age 68, High St, Clackmannan, m. to Jane Chalmers, Parents: John Hall (deceased), Margaret McNaughton (deceased), inf son John Hall Abbey Rd, Stirling.

G'day Pat. The mysterious JOHN. Death John Hall (b. 1828 Clackmannan) spouse Jane Chalmers, died 1895. Parents John Hall/Margaret McNaughton. One more son accounted for, now to connect Francis and Robert Bruce.

So Pat, we seem to keep going around in circles which makes finding out what John Hall's M.I. reads so important. There are so many John Hall/Margaret ? in Clackmannan and area and the fact that only children Anne/James McNaughton/Malcom are found for parents John Hall/Margaret McNaughton without mention of Francis or Robert Bruce and finally that on Ancestry 1851 census "Margaret Hall wife of John living on High Street, Clackmannan, born abt 1795 in Kinnoul, Perth" and that on IGI I found MARGARET Thomson born 1795 Kinnoul, Perth makes me favour Thomson over McNaughton. (as an aside I believe Mgt McNaughton was born Kenmore, Perth).
