George HALL 1867-?

[Eyesee]

George Joseph HALL was born in Scotland c1867 son of Ambrose HALL and Mary PURCELL according to his marriage certificate. He married Jane WADDELL in 1904 in Edinburgh. Jane was the same age, daughter of John WADDELL and Margaret DONALD.

They left Scotland for New Zealand sometime after 1904 and ended up in Kimbolton in New Zealand, where he was the local doctor.

Jane died in Kimbolton in December 1906 and was buried in the Kimbolton Cemetery.

Can anyone find George after that date, he seems to have disappeared.

There were no children and according to Jane's will George was George Joseph Alphonsus HALL, and Jane was also known as Jean. Kimbolton Cemetery records have her as Jean but NZBDM have her as Jane.

Thanks.

Lots of entires under “Dr G. J. Hall”. But this write up when he left T.A. Is very flattering

Thanks Mckha489. That is him.

Found his birth on the Irishgenealogy website, parents Ambrose Hall and Mary Purcell which match his marriage. Would be why I could not find him in Scottish records. A number of Irish went to Scotland for medical training.

In TA by 1914.
