Author: verbena59 Surnames: Hall Hogg McKetterick McKitterick McGurtrick Campbell Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.hall/13704/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My great grandfather was John Hall, apparently the son of John Hall and Margaret McKetterick of Johnstone, Renfrew, Scotland. I say apparently, as my great grandmother told my Aunty one day that John Hall junior was in fact born into the family Hog/Hogg, but that John and Margaret took him in. Thus far I've not been able to find a John Hall birth that I can definitely link to John and Margaret Hall, and without knowing any of the Hogg details, making that link is providing difficult. John Hall jnr married Harriet Mair Brown in Hamilton, Lanark in 1896, age 25. John Hall and Harriet Hall (nee Brown) finally settled in Australia, apparently having first living and working in India. John Hall senior married Margaret McKetterick in Johnstone in 1865, age 23. Margaret was 26 at the time. Her maiden name has been written at different times as McKetterick, McKitterick, McGurtrick. John Hall senior died in 1877. Margaret remarried to William Campbell later that year. If somebody else has been following this family, I'd be pleased to hear from you.
