Thomas Hall 1861-1936

[daval57]

YAY!!! Found address (I'm renovating at the moment and stuff is all over the place - I'm normally better organised).
If you apply as the next of kin, it is free.  Otherwise there is a fee - I can't recall how much it was, something like £30 or £45.  I think NOK only included spouse or children (if no spouse remaining).

Documents came from:

I'm giving up on ancestry for you - we are probably duplicating efforts and I am having no success anyway.

Good luck.

Hi Dave - Wended my way through National Archives Kew this morning..but nothing came up, but as they say a lot of records were destroyed in the 2nd war so could be I will never find out..plus all the government gobble-de-gook really does my head in  it's a pity as this is one stage of my g/grandfathers life that is missing, may try posing on the military board and see if that brings anything up..ah well you can but try.
All the best..Pat

Pat,
I think I know what your saying  but don't give up.

Try contacting the first of the addresses that I gave you before you give up too soon.

Perhaps you misread it, but what I'm saying is, write to the MOD at the address in Glasgow that I gave you.

The email address is there.  All you need to do is send them an email.   They will probably get you the information.  But of course, maybe you don't want to spend the sort of money I mentioned.

Aw ra best.

Dave

Just noticed your query.

Galashiels Eastlands MIs have been recorded and photographed by volunteers (Borders FHS) and there is a headstone for a Thomas Hall - the date we have read from the stone is 10.9.1930, very similar to your 1936.  The stone is in a poor condition.  Other names on the stone are adopted daughter Helen Watson, also a James Flynn.  The stone has broken and is partially buried so we were unable to read any more.

The cemetery is divided into 4 large sections - the above stone is in the 3rd section and is in section A & B.

Best bet would be to contact Bereavement Services (info they need is on their website) and they will confirm the location of the plot.

Maybe the same family ?
