Stirlingshire / John HALL - born abt. 1834
« on: Monday 07 November 05 03:47 GMT (UK)  »
At the time of the 1851 Census, my great great great grandparents, William HALL (born abt. 1791 in St Ninians, Stirlingshire) & Ann HALL [m.s. STEVENSON] (born 1786 in Stirling, Stirlingshire) had their grandson, John HALL (born abt. 1834 in Alloa, Clackmannanshire) living with them and their family.

I am trying to find out who John's parents were...  That is, which one of William & Ann's children did he belong to?

So, at the time of the 1851 Census, John HALL was living in St Ninians, Stirlingshire with his grandparents, William & Ann HALL.

He was a Tanner by trade and was said to be 17 years old at the time.

His place of birth was given as Alloa, Clackmannanshire.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
