Good morning listers
I am new to this list and new to research in Wales so am hoping for a few
pointers on where to look for information.
JOSEPH FRANCIS HALL was born in Wrexham in 1871 and died in Queensland
Australia in 1954. I have narrowed his immigration date to between 1891
(last census I found him) and 1902 when he married in Sydney.
He was the son of JAMES HALL born 1848 Broughton and EMILY BARTON born 1848
West Bromwich, Staffordshire.
I have managed to put a family together for JAMES and EMILY from census
records and have found their marriage record on FMP dated 1870 so know that
JAMES is the son of JOSEPH HALL born Tarvin Cheshire and EMILY is the
daughter of BENJAMIN BARTON.
There my research petered out.
Does anyone know what sort of records, apart from the above, that are
available for the Broughton area and Wrexham in general?
I will be in the area in a couple of months' time and would like to be able
to locate burials and possibly find addresses where these folk lived. JAMES
occupation was a mining engineer.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Kind regards
