Samuel is my 4x Great Grandfather.
Previously on this forum, we deciphered his second marriage to Jane Betts - which lists his father as Joseph Hall.

But i cant find anything else to find out how to go any further with Joseph.

Can anyone help or suggest a way to research further?
I have some time off in a few weeks too, so if a real life visit to an archive would help, then I would be happy to try that and contribute back to Black Country Connections

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Jimmy

Thanks for these. Ive investigated this before and probably came to the same conclusion that he is the father - although theres no absolute connection to prove theyre connected.

I got hold of the All Saints records to try and show more but there are no more obvious connections to validate this

Think this may be the end of the line

HI Andrew welcome back

would you like me to add your username in notes on Bcc to Samuel Hall

just having a look at this thread now

On 1st marriage wit is a Robert Hall

adding marriage to Bcc now

is he a brother?

Where is Samuel in 1881 and other census
or wife?

is there a death for him?

That looks more like Wall to me

How about working on the Spon Lane Joseph... there seem to be quite a few kids to trace. Some had sons named Samuel. It might be worth seeing who their marriage witnesses were.

Youre right, there are a lot of Halls who live in Spon Lane

1881 Jane is widow
adding info now on Bcc.

Jane Hall 48
James Hall 21
George Hall 18
William Hall 18
Frederick Hall 13

I think I have ordered every Samuel Hall death certificate between 1871 and 1881 from West Bromwich district
