Katie,
Life is busy for me now but I live not far from the Kirn and have plans to visit the new location sometime in the future. In the mean time here's a link for the Norfolk and Portsmouth City directories from 1866-1931. Also included in them are South Norfolk listings, which is now a part of the City of Chesapeake. They are searchable using Adobe. There were 9 hits for TARRALL in the 1919 directory, the only lady listed was a Miss Thelma for that year. Have fun searching the rest and I hope you get a hit for your Rachel TARRALL.

Good Luck !!

Subject: [VA-ROOTS] late 1920s Norfolk marriage: Tarrall & Wood
I am trying a different angle on this brickwall of mine, Nicholas TARRALL. I know that a descendant of his (as I am) may have her own descendants who are doing research on this line.
Rachel Tarrall of Norfolk, now deceased, was a 1924 graduate of William & Mary; she married E. C. Wood and they settled in White Plains, NY on Martine Avenue. She graduated high school in 1921, I can only imagine in the City of Norfolk but do not know which one.
Would any of you have access to the high school year book collection at Kirn (if it is even still open) or have access to marriages in the 1924 and later period? I am hoping somewhere along the line I can locate children. I cannot access White Plains obituaries but as she was from Norfolk, I suppose she may have been in a Norfolk paper as well. William & Mary does not have an open alum magazine that lists obituaries.
