Hi guys, hoping someone could help on this one as I've been at a dead end for months.
Here's what I have so far...
According to censuses of 1851, 1861 and 1871, Thomas Hall was born in Cronton, Lancashire, the ages/dates according to the censuses are:
1841 - 35 (1806)
1851 - 56 (1795)
1861 - 63 (1798)
1871 - 74 (1797)
His age is given on his death certificate as 77, on 6th July 1874.
Between 1851 and 1861 at least he was a farmer living at Tanhouse Farm, Widnes.
He married Elizabeth Haddock in Runcorn, 13th Mar 1829. From the 1851 census she appears to have been born around 1803 (age 48) in Halton/Runcorn. IGI also gives a result for an Elizabeth Haddock born to parents William Haddock and Elizabeth Prichard (my Elizabeth's parents seem to be the same though I have no maiden surname for the mother) who married a William Prichard in Runcorn, 28th July, 1823, so could possibly be the earlier marriage of the same lady, as her birth matches Thomas' wifes christening date, both in Halton.
On the 1861 census, he is at Tanhouse Farm, with wife Martha, though I've no marriage to her, nor death of Elizabeth yet.
Their children were:
Mary b. abt 1829
Peter b. abt 1830
Thomas b. 1832
John b. abt 1834
Robert b. 1840
Sarah Ann b. abt 1843
He died in Hereford, where he was lodging in 1871 as a retired farmer.
Now for the blanks I've been stuck on:
Place and date of birth proper
Parents names
Siblings
Death of Elizabeth
Marriage to Martha
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
