MI - John Hall

[golfer]

Could someone in the Clackmannan vicinity kindly advise the MI for John Hall born 15 August 1797 Clackmannan died 17 June 1860 Clackmannan. Father's name Thomas Hall, Mother's name Jane Hall (Malcolm). Buried in Churchyard of Clackmannan. Hopefully it identifies his spouse's name as his death certificate did not. Cheers, Golfer.

Hi Golfer - Will be interested in that one myself 
Cannot remember why we dismissed Margaret McNaughton ?? think it was because a son John Hall was the informant and as far as we knew they only had Francis and Robert....by the way who was the informant on John's death cert ??

All the best Patvp

Golfer - Have sent you a PM

G'day Pat. Informant on John's death cert was son JOHN. I'll get back to you shortly. Hockey priority ('tis Canada you know, LOL). Cheers, Golfer.

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).

[golfer]

Another reason why I was discounting McNaughton was that I noted on IGI that John Hall married Margaret McNaughton 26 Mar 1879 but now realize that date should have read 26 Mar 1820. hmmm. I have also found another son credited to John and Margaret: Thomas Hall born 24 Aug 1820. John Hall's father name was Thomas. But still no Francis, Robert Bruce, or John to cement the deal. The Cemetery Office have advised me that their records only go back as far as 1877 so I'm hoping someone responds favourably to this topic.
