Before folk start spending time finding out information that you already know, could you be more specific?

Eg. do you have the marriage information, have you seen the 1901 / 1911 census records?

[myluck!]

1901 census
They are not obvious on the 1911 census
Also there is a death in 1909 for a Matthew HALL Larne Oct-Dec V1 P562 which maybe be  the father and a reason for the family to move

However there is also a family tree online that shows the family in Canada in 1911 and Jeanette marrying there in 1919

Hi,
   27 Sept 1895 Matthew Hall married Margaret Hunter in Larne First Presbyterian Church. The fathers' names were Matthew Hall and James Hunter.

Thanks Kingskerswell, I'm new to this so please forgive if I don't do things correctly.
That was useful information regarding M Hall's dom - can you tell me how I go about finding details of his offspring?

Welcome jmcmh33!

If you look at my earlier post and click on the blue writing it is a link to the 1901 census return for Matthew and his wife, Margaret, with their two daughters Jeanette and Martha Jane

www.familysearch.org is a free to access site
Its results are limited but it is still avery good resource
e.g. This is a link to the Civil Reference for Jeanette's Birth
If however you search for HALL in LARNE you will find that there are many and without a method of reduction (e.g. mother's maiden name) you will find it practically impossible to gain more information

The family tree that I was able to see on a paid site shows at least 6 more siblings
One was born in 1907 in Ireland and died in Ontario in 1908 which implies the family travelled between those dates

I recently posted on the Canada roots chat and got some brilliant help and results,why not try a follow up on there.

There is a will on the P R O N I Wills calendar for a Matthew Hall died 5 May 1889 proven on the 7th
June 1889 by a Thomas Hall and Robert James Lyle find it hard to read but it mentions a son Matthew.
