OMG i am actually crying!! i never thought i'd get anything on these chaps ever!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I wonder why charles gives 3 different immigration dates?? 1890, 1886, 1887?? any of these would fit for me! as he disappears after 1881 and is not on the 1891. Is their anyway of finding out when he went over? his brother Robert bc1874 also disappears at the same time and may well have gone as well?? now we have a DOB for Ivor is their a way to confirm he was in the canadian army?
OMG i'm so excited!!
is their a marriage for charles and viola? was she english or canadian? i don't know how comprehensive the census are??
woo hoo anyone out their with a few minutes to help me some more??

HI is it possible to access WW2 canadian records?? I'm looking for IVOR HALL b?? possible british colombia canada. He came to the UK during WW2 as a soldier, i believe his father was charles HALL b1876 london UK i am desperately trying to piece this side of the family together. it is a long and complicated story but Charles was in the West London district school (basically an orphanage) on the 1881 census with his siblings and then disappears, it is believe he was sent on a boat to canada to be 'trained' as an apprentice type of thing?? Ivor visited family members in the UK during WW2 but after the war he never got in touch after that (he may have been killed??) I have no DOB for Ivor or any knowledge of what happened to charles?? i know this is a long shot but anything is very gratefully appreciated!!
many thanks Helen
