Colchester. Fishmongers Halls & Bare/Bear

[Merryman]

Dear Nicholas and Doreen
My family Halls lived in Essex .   My Gt.Grandfather was a fishmonger in Barking and also a Greengrocer in Barking and East Ham.   His daughter also had a greengrocers shop in East Ham. He was also a fried fish dealer in Tollesbury Essex and his son was a fishmonger.     
I am not familiar with the names Nicholas has given for the family.    Although the family did come from Suffolk.    If I can find a connection I will let you know.
Merryman
