Halls from Middlesbrough living in Western Australia
My Great Uncle, Edward Hall and his wife Daisy Victoria Lambert emigrated to Albany Western Australia in 1926 from Middlesbrough, England. They sailed on the SS Pakeha from Liverpool and were accompanied by their children Ernest William and Gwendoline, my 2nd cousins. Subsequently Ernest married Ray Alice May Morrell and Gwendoline married Geoffrey Allan Angove. I believe they are all deceased but wonder whether they had any children bearing the Hall or Angove names.

hi Keeef, welcome to FamilyTreeCircles
A Geoffrey Allen Angove was born in Albany on 10 Nov 1911. A name too coincidental to ignore, especially given he was born in Albany.
I am thinking he was probably the husband of Gwendoline Hall. If so, it was after he returned from war in 1941
Geoffrey enlisted for WWII with the Australian Army on 10 Nov 1939 and served as Lance Corporal WX710. His next of kin was a Clara Angove.
16 June 1941 - BACK IN ALBANY
Geoff Angove, Albany's first casualty in the present war, and prominent member of local sporting circles, arrived back in his home town yesterday afternoon.
Geoff, who was wounded in action at Bardia, has been back in the West for some time, but has been in hospital in the city.
He appears well and happy considering his trying ordeal.
L/Cpl. Geoff Angove is the youngest son of Mrs Angove, of Vancouver Street, Albany. His father, the late Mr John Angove, was for many years secretary of the Albany Road Board, and had a long sporting association locally.

St. George's Cathedral, Perth, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on July 10th, the contracting parties being Mr. G. A. Angove and Miss Gwendoline Hall, both formerly of Albany. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, looking very charming in a heavy white crepe satin back dress with long sleeves finished at the waist with six tiny buttons of the same material; the shoulders trimmed with lattice work of same material and a broad waist band in pin tucks, and a beautiful hand-worked veil held in place by a great heart-shaped halo and orange blossom.
The bride carried a sheaf of dark red carnations and fern to complete her toilet. Miss A. Foster, a close friend of the bride, was bridesmaid. She, looked very nice in an ankle length dress of white sharkskin, the bodice and sleeves being in white georgette and finished in tiny pintucks.
