many thanks and I will try to digest that info' and get back. In the meantime my Hall family originated from Nettleton in Wiltshire prior to moving north sometime between 1860-1880, They then appear at Woodhouse mill and Albert Hall married Matilda Daykin/dakin, it seems to be the Daykin family that have the Nightingale connecton.

Hi, I came across your post when my daughter was researching our family history.. Interesting to read your post, as I notice there are several similarities with my own family..
I remember it being told, that there was a connection with Florence Nightingale,
on my paternal grandmothers side.. her name was Marguerita Hall… she too had relatives living in South Yorkshire in the areas you mention.
My father would often speak of aunt Epzibah and being an unusual name, is easily remembered..
So I wonder if you & I have a family connection?...

Regards
Graham Denton

Oops! Sorry...spelling correction should read, Margaretta Hall  aunt Hepzibah
