Hall - death

[patvp1]

Looking for the death of my g/grandfather Thomas Hall born c1860 at Sauchie, parents Edward Hall and Robina Sneddon.

Last known address in 1901 80 Johnston St Alva, he is with his father Edward, sister Janet her son Edward age 2, also his own daughter Robina age 17.

Nothing on GROS, so where do I go from here.

Regards Pat

Hi Pat

The IGI has Thomas's birth (extracted) as 18th January 1861 Clackmannan, mother's maiden name spelled as SNADON. In fact it seems to vary for the birth of each child doesn't it!

Have you tried looking for MIs?

Thanks for the reply Kirsty, have tried all the spellings of Snadon etc and got nowhere.
Have no idea how to go about searching for MI's problem is I don't know if he died in Alva or not.

Hi Pat

Have you managed to find any other certificates to help you narrow down the window of time for Thomas Hall's death. His wife's death cert. for example would show if Thomas was alive or deceased at the time of her death. Also his children's marriage certs would also show this information.

Yes Kirsty have all that he ws alive when three of his daughters married, the last one Robina was with him in the 1901 census at 80 Johnston St Alva unmarried, cannot find a marriage for her she went under the name of Robina Snadon Hall ..took me ages to sort out as she had a cousin Robina Moir Hall.
Cannot find Thomas or Robina after 1901 unless of course he married again !! he would only have been in his forties in 1901 but have checked that out as well and no go.
Also he was living with his father Edward in 1901 and Edward died in 1903 Thomas informant on death cert.

There is a marriage showing in 1901 for a Robina Hall to a William L Kemp in ALVA - however, given that you know that Thomas was alive in 1903 when he reported his father's death, if it is the right marriage for Robina...it won't help you further with Thomas's death.

Yes Monica - That Robina was her cousin..Robina Moir Hall. As you say it does not help with Thomas's death.  His wife Isabella Robertson died in 1890 and the daughters apart from Robina were brought up by relatives..I know it gets confusing.  May have to wait for the 1911 census  Pat

There are seven deaths showing on SP for a Thomas Hall b. 1862 +/- 2yrs from 1903....maybe someone could do a look up for you at New Register House or at least you know the 1911 is not now tooo far away!

Thanks for that Monica - funnily enough just received an e.mail from a "Cramb"cousin x5 who is going to Edinburgh next week so may get him to have a look for the death.
Must be my morning for e.mails, it's a bit chilly here in "sunny"Queensland, now need a 2nd cup of tea  Pat
