I belive that Theodore R Hall may have died in the 1970's rather than later as it seems that gentleman was coloured and does not have a middle name, I have estblished some relations are mentioned on the obituary of John Robert Hall who died in 2002.

I already had details of Lewis Harold Hall and his elder brothers Michael and Thomas Lancelot 1902-1978 who remained in England and lived in Essex.

I have noted that Theodore many times however I can clarify that my Theodore was white but today I did find Ted Robert Hall born to Ted Hall and Connie Sette 3 Feb 1939 death Cobb Fulton, Georgia 28 February 1998 as Anthony Sette other information reveals he was also known as Anthony Rob Sette.

He had married 27 August 1971 to Germain H Gaffney at Los Angeles City they divorced in November 1977.

I also found Constance M Sette married Manuel A Rosa 20 March 1974 she was 56 and he 40 at San Luis Obispa California.

That's interesting.

Name is the same
Date of birth matches but
Mother's name is noted as Francis Ivory
Father's name is noted as Cq hall
and
Race is noted as Black

Wrong record!

His birth in England was reg 2nd Q 1918, so assuming his birth was reg within the permitted 6 weeks, his birth would fall anywhere between late Feb - June.

I was curious about the double- barreled surname of Alice. There are these records on FreeBMD:

What about Theodore's? Do you have a copy of his BC? Although I'd followed various Theo's through, they were all born in the USA.

Yes the birth of John Robert Hall was 5 May 1916 at Birtley Durham UK.

Arrival in Usa has the following:

Alice Hall, 45, housewife
George Hall, 9
John Robert Hall, 7
Theodore Hall, 3

Heading to Canton, Illinois to join husband and father, George Hall, RR#2, Canton.

You've got John pretty well covered - what were you hoping to find?

Looking for John Robert Hall born Birtley Durham UK 1916 and his brother Theodore R Hall born Birtley Durham 1918, sons of George William Hall and Alice Emery-Lawton both brothers emigrated to the US in 1923.

The family settled in the Arthington area of Chicargo.
