Hi Listers (copy to Edward Grant) I would be interested to know if anyone can assist Edward Grant (message below) with any additional information on Frederick George HALL, School Teacher at Charam SS & Jallakin SS near Goroke, prior to WW1. Frederick HALL came to Australia ca 1912, aged 21y. Please reply with specific information rather than from where it may be obtained.
