Hi Bronwyn

I note that you sent me a message regarding my posting of a couple of years ago and I did not reply. For some reason the prompt did not go to my email that there was a reply.

I am the grandson of Frederick Charles Hall, Edith's older brother. Would love to get in touch and share information.

My email address is (*) - which is possibly the best venue for continuing conversation.

Hope to hear from you in due course.
Kind regards
Bill

Struggling through the Marriage Bond Allegation; quick question. Is this just the equivalent to a marriage license or is there more to it? Seems incredibly detailed

Huge thank you to those of you who have provided information. Apologies for delay in replying which was caused by family matters. Will now try and print out all the replies and make some sense of them. The revelation that William Hall was married prior to Mary Taylor is definitely a significant twist.

Regards
Bill

Amazing information and thank you very much for going to so much trouble. The proximity of the Taylor and Hall families in Salem Street is definitely a vital piece of information that would appear to suggest that is source of the William and Mary union. Once again, thank you.

Beginning to wish my surname was something a little more unusual than HALL! Thank you for help and offers of help. I know that about 50 years ago a relative of mine tried to do the family tree and from what I am told, hit the brick wall on William Hall too.

Goodness me, that is some amount of information to digest!

Unless he was living elsewhere, I believe that William Hall (father of Thomas Henry) was already deceased by the time of the 1851 Census. As someone pointed out earlier, Mary is shown as living with her son Thomas Henry at 9 Victoria Street, Bradford at this time, with Mary as head of the house.

I do have the marriage certificate for Thomas Henry Hall to Eliza Milner (both of Bradford). They were married on 19 January 1853 at the Parish Church in the Parish of Bradford. On the certificate it states that Thomas' father was William Hall, who was a Wool Stapler. Eliza's father was William Milner, Cloth Manufacturer. No mention of either father being deceased at the time of the wedding but that may not mean a great deal.

Thank you to those who provided information. I suspect the baptism some 20 years later in 1844 after his birth in 1824 could be a transcription error. Shame his parents had such common christian names.

I am trying to determine the exact names and details about the parents of Thomas Henry Hall who was born on 5 April 1824 in Leeds and hopefully earlier generations. I note from some records that his parents were William and Mary Hall, but there are more than one couple with these christian names. I would like to get some steer on how to determine his mother's maiden name and the birth details of both of his parents and hopefully earlier generations, and once I have these, whether he had siblings. If someone could assist me with where to go for records that could help me determine this, it would be most welcomed. On Thomas' baptism certificate it states that his father was a Wool Stapler. My guess at this stage is that quite possibly both his parents were from Leeds too, but that is a guess.

Many thanks
Bill
