Alfred and Napoleon Hall to the USA late 1800s?

[Worthingbudge]

My family records suggest that Alfred William Hall and Napoleon Frederick Hall emigrated to the USA.  They were sons of William Hall and Emma Riddell, Wiltshire, England.

Alfred was born in 1868, Little Langford, Wiltshire, England.  Napoleon was born in 1879, Kingston, London, England.

Alfred is not at home in the 1891 census and Napoleon has left before the 1901 census, so if they did go to the States it would likely to have been around the late 1800s.

If anyone can help find them that would be very wonderful.

Many thanks ... Simon

Possible matches?  The 1900 Census gives Napoleon's birth date as Jul. 1879.

There is an entry on a naturalization index for Frederick N. Hall, born 11 Jul. 1878 in Surrey Co., England, living at 9 Belvidere St., Boston, and naturalized on 17 Sep. 1900.  It looks like they were at 91 Belvidere St. on the 1900 Census.

Alfred and his family (wife Emma - age 35, children Edith (10), Alf. (6), Maud (6), and Kate (3)) are on the Saxonia from Liverpool to Boston, 25 Mar. 1904.  The youngest 3 children were born in the US.  It says they were previously in the US for 10 years, their last residence was London, and they were returning to their home at 91 Belvidere St., Boston.  Alfred's occupation looks like Estate Agent.
