All added but a few of loose ends
a) Where was Edward Hall in 1851 ?
b) Where was William Cutler father of Benjamin before 1861 Census ?
c) Has anyone Clent records to look up 1839 Marriage of Mary Hall to John Craig ?

Found part of Clent Marriage which notes that father of John Craig was John Craig
and father of Mary Hall was William Hall
so Edward Hall was born out of Wedlock

This could be Edward Hall in 1851 with his uncle William

The Vicar at Clent was getting a bit decrepit at this time so he may have misheard Tailor instead of nailer
