Edward Richard Hallis b1872 ;any children in SA

[brigidmac]

 Edward Hallis was a blacksmith in GB (his father samuel "adopted" my nana in 1900)
Edward Married Lillian Alice Hird in Liverpool in 1897


Edward died in SA in 1942

I see from ship records that he travelled to and from africa
He seems to have come from SA to GB in the  to visit his sister in  Greenfield street Birkenhead
in 1932 1935 and 1939

first evidence i found of him going to SA was 1912

his wife was with her father Thomas Hird in 1901 and I can't find Edward

there is a Mrs L Hallis  housekeeper aged 26 travelling from Liverpool to Cape in 1902
could this be to join her husband there

Is there any evidence of Edward having children in SA ..is he on any censuses
 and did he have any children
 with Lillian or anyone else

in 1939  aged 67 he travelled from Mozambique
to  GB (Ashdale  road)

Will be grateful for any pointers
