I have a relative George Hall b abt 1865 and his wife Eleanor emigrated to South Africa abt 1902 possibly 2 children George/Eleanor could somebody with a sub try to locate it please, i have no idea which port they left but orignate from Northumberland

Thanks

Do you have any other information- there are many George Halls on passenger lists to South Africa.

Perhaps you could post the last uk Census that you have them on so we have an idea of Eleanor's and the children's ages and George's occupation.

Yes Sylvia, been trying to find Doris in Australia. Not entirely convinced they are the correct family. I suppose Doris may be a grandchild?

(from above, 1914)

alviegal ................ I was looking for a child Doris born in the UK. Lots of Doris Halls, but none that seem to fit.


I also don't see how Eleanor could be with George on the Aussie Electoral oll about 2 years after that tree says he died? :-D

From Chris' link.

So the tree above appears to have some major discrepencies in it.


EDIT

You're quite right Sylvia about George. The owner of the tree seems to have been connecting the wrong records to her tree.

Searching 'Trove' (vinera vineyard) family notices for William Dugdale Edwards (Brother of Charles) she appears as Nell, with Charlie.
