Hi Margaret.

There is a member on here with a Robert Hall born Darlington 1933 in her tree - use search box above, & select 'search all member trees'. You can try sending her a message.

Would it be safe to assume there is no contact at all with any of his relatives? If so, if all else fails, you could try tracking them down.

From what you have put, I am guessing you might already use Freebmd? If you do, and the MMN is Bolton, there are a lot of siblings.

Marriages Dec 1927 (>99%)

this household is in Darlington in the 1939 register

edit - this is the wrong household, see later post

Keith Hall 21 Oct 1933 At School
William Hall 25 Apr 1903 Colliery General Labourer Above Unemployed
Alice Hall 19 Aug 1909 Unpaid Domestic
Anthony Hall 20 Jun 1936 Under School Age
along with one closed record

a record is closed if the person's death was not recorded before 1991 when the updating stopped

the fact that Keith's record is not closed indicates that he had died before 1991, unfortunately

does your friend know whether these parents' names and siblings names match her Keith?

ah, that is a different couple in Jan's post from the household on the 1939 register

so that must be a coincidental Keith!

Hall Household (2 People) 1 Myrtle Gardens , Darlington C.B., Durham, England
Lillian Rickinson (Hall) 21 Feb 1909 Home Duties Unpaid
Norman Hall 01 Dec 1903 General Labourer

Three closed records, i.e. children whose deaths were not recorded by 1991.

Lillian's name is crossed out and Rickinson added, indicating a later remarriage.

in case it helps, the eldest child is blacked out, but her married surname can be seen (I won't put it here but see later link for her current contact info).

search here

http://www.searchelectoralroll.co.uk

for Keith R Hall in Leeds

that age matches, and the listing is current to this year (crosschecked at 192.com)

The other person in that household probably born mid-80s in Leeds could be the child of a marriage in Suffolk in 1972 that matches Keith's name

does that seem like a possibility?

just adding something it had got late to be doing last night

the other children born before 1939 are Norman (died 1985 Darlington), a sister (see info below), John William (died 1997 Darlington) and Colin makes 5 children total by 1939 ... and there is one other child after 1939 (all births can be seen at freebmd)

... but there are only 3 children in the household (no other Hall+Bolton marriage seems to account for 2 other births)

based on electoral roll info and marriage/birth records, this is the telephone/address listing for the sister in the 1939 household, current as of this year, the first entry in this list, with #93

http://tinyurl.com/hx9bvxp

I would prefer to delete that link once you have recorded the info

so please reply here to say you have seen and done that :-)

Margaret there is a member here who has Keith Robert Hall 1937 Darlington in their tree ... ah, that could be someone who is searching for him ...


I now note also that there was a 1982 marriage in Darlington for a Keith R Hall whose spouse's surname matches the surname of a person in the household on the current electoral roll
