Hi Nicholas
I'm afraid I deleted the tree 3 years ago after passing over my finds & needed to make space. I would have loved to have helped you, and your info does seem to be right for the Halls I was researching, but i don't even seem to have kept a ged or paf file to restore from. Sorry!
In case you haven't found this yet...
It may help your searches to use https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp (free, just need to reg) because it now shows the mother's name on births 1837-1917, & ages at death 1837-1957. It also shows full middle names. Great in places like Colchester & London where its a problem to sort out who a kid belongs to (mostly). Just remember...Mother's baby, father's maybe :-)
Thank you for replying though. Happy hunting
