I am trying to find out information about my late Father, William Hall, born 16th Feb 1919, I think in Jarrow.

From what I know he later moved with his parents down to Brighton, Sussex.

I know hardly anything about my Dad, and I am desperate to find out more, if anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Many Thanks.

Wow that was quick, I really don't know as I have no information whatsoever regarding his parents. It certainly sounds like a good lead, did you know of him?

Thankyou so much for your help.

Regards
Eric

Through research I think you might be right.

Elizabeth Ann Armstrong was the Mother, the Father was Edward Hall of Jarrow.

If anybody has anymore information please contact me, thanks.

No, I don't know anything about him - just looked up the birth on Ancestry. This looks like his parent's marriage:-
