Edward Hall of Grantham
« on: Saturday 23 May 09 16:01 BST (UK) »
Hallo,
I am trying to research the family of Edward Hall.  Edward is a man of mystery.  He says he was born in Grantham in about 1769.  In 1794 he is in Essex, marrying Ann Browne.  In 1795 he is Norwich, a soldier by profession.  By 1800 he is in Hull and a boot closer.  This is where he lived worked and died some time prior to 1841.  His address was 6 Short Street and I know he advertised his business.  I just have no idea as to his family background and it looks as if it might remain that way.  He appears to have become a member of the Ebeneezer Baptists and it is only from their record of his later children’s baptisms that I know he comes from Grantham. 
Are there any records of an Edward Hall being born in Grantham around this time?  I cannot find any.  ???
Thank you

Thanks rover72.
I have seen Anthony Hall before on the IGI but there is just nothing to link him to Edward who was born a few years earlier.  He really is a mystery.
Cheers

Is this him from Hull Packet Newspaper March 19, 1841

On Sunday, the 7th inst, at this place, (Hull), Mr. Edward Hall, aged 65 years, boot closer. He was the son of the late Sergeant Thomas Hall, of the Royal North Lincoln Militia, in which he was a drummer for twenty years. He has left a widow and numerous family to lament his loss.

I wonder if this is Edward's wife/widow:
Hull Packet Newspaper: April 20, 1855
Deaths
April 11, in this town, Ann, the widow of Mr. E. Hall, boot closer, for many years leading drummer in the North Lincolnshire Militia.

Is this one of their daughter's marriage:
Hull Packet November 23, 1855:
Marriages
November 19 at St. Charles’s, by the Rev. Mr. Trappes, George Kearns, to Mary, fourth daughter of Mr. Edward Hall, boot closer of this town.

However there is this one too, a son maybe:
Hull Packet October 19, 1866
Deaths
October 7, at his residence, Spencer-street, Hull, Mr. Edward Hall, boot-closer, aged 61 years

And this one too: same paper June 11, 1875:
Deaths
Hall-June 5, at Hull, aged 71 years, Mary, wife of  Thomas Hall, boot closer

Perhaps the mother's death made the marriage possible.  Was this them in 1851?
6 Short St, Hull
Ann HALL (wid) 75 Pauper (Laundress), Staffs Overley
Mary LEE (dau,wid) 42 Trinity House Penshuner? (Laundress), Hull
Elizabeth LEE (dau) 17 Dressmaker, Hull

What is a boot closer?

geoff E; Yes that seems right, but it would seem that she has been married before to someone from either a  lighthouse keeper or Customs maybe as she is a pensioner from Trinity House.

He would have had strong fingers then, and that Mary was a Mary Lee also a widow, so married previously to a Mr. Lee, and Elizabeth was her daughter and grand daughter to Ann Hall.

Mary Ann Hall married George Kearns at St. Charles, in Sculcoates RD according to Free BMD Sculcoates    9d   338

I have amended my post above ... I had thought that Lee was Do (ditto) and hadn't noticed she was a widow.  Sorry  :-[
