    Default Grandfather

    Did your grandfather have any male offspring ? I did know a Tommy Hall from same area, if still alive would be in his eighties now. He used to work for Moor Line Ltd. ( Walter Runciman) of Newcastle. In the early 60"s they went up to Glasgow and worked with Anchor Line as there was some controlling interest there. They worked some of their old ships under Runciman Shipping. Tommy Hall was master there I would say probably in the 80"s. If he was of same family you might get some lead from Anchor Line or Runciman Shipping if they are still viable, as he was a long serving member there. I know Hall is a common name.

    Default Thought so

    A bit before my time though. I was on the Pennyworth, Ravensworth, Silksworth for a short time only, and the Warkworth. The Newcastle companies all had one thing in common, tight as a ducks ass. Although must say had some fine people working for them at times. Dalglieshes were always associated with Port Churchill (Hudson Bay) I think the father who I worked for was hoping to get a knighthood out of it, believe he had a quay named after him the Dalgliesh quay. However as he received a short gaol sentence during the war for I believe mis appropriation of funds it was never going to happen. I remember Stag Line 1 Howard Street North Shields phoned me up one time , I had been away for 12 months, and offered me a job. When I asked what they were paying I said no. When they said we can offer you permanent employment a good pension and we will look after you. I said an increase in wages or nothing, so it was nothing. A year later they were out of business. I never took a shipowner at face value, saw them get rid of too many good and lifelong employees. Cheers John Sabourn

    Looking at the photos of the discharge papers makes me ask the question, were they all in that manner at that time. I have some for my Grandfather and they look similar. Did the discharge beeks we know start at a later date?
    As far as I can see he was an engineer on the Longhurst

    Hi Sandy,

    I wouldn't assume that at all if I were you. He is not mentioned in the Deaths at Sea Register for ASHLEA.

    Sorry for taking so long... I'd forgotten about this page till I did a google search for my grandfather, again.
    The only mail offspring was my Uncle Jack Hall. (John Henry Hall) Who never worked on the ships.

    Thanks
