	Thanks for all the advice Mick, with regard to this William Hall's death (b. 1885) he would have been my husband's grandfather - we have spoken to my husbands;s older brother, who knew very little about their fathers parents, he has however, told us that William Hall above did die in the first world war, but he doesn't know anything other than that. So guess I need to go researching lots of different place. Again thanks for the advice Elaine
