Thomas/Dugald Hall, Plumbers in Manhattan, N.Y.
My great grandfather's brother was Thomas Hall, (b 1864 Irvine, Scotland) occupation Plumber. He emigrated to U.S. in 1888 and lived at 243 8th Avenue, Manhattan from (at least) 1900 until (after?) 1910 (census information). He married Jennifer Forbes in 1893. She died in 1906 at that address & they had no children as far as I can tell. I don't know if he re-married. Thomas was joined by his brother Dugald (b 1876, Irvine, Scotland) in 1906. Dugald and his wife Flora had at least two sons, Donald (b 1908, NY) and Thomas (b 1910, Scotland). Thomas had a (plumbing?) business and was shop owner and had employees.
I would like to hear from anyone who thinks they are related to the above people, or has access to the 1920/30 census and can do a look-up for me. I would like to know if Thomas's business was also listed in an N.Y. directory.
I anyone is able to do this, I would be most grateful.
Many thanks in advance.
