Robert Hall

[penpen64]

Can anyone find any info about a Robert Hall born c1820 in Beetley,Norfolk? He married Mary Ann Carson and ended up in Essex, subsequently having 8 children. Not sure of his parentage? Parents possibly William and Frances?
Thanks.

This RC thread of the same Robert Hall has his father as Thomas Hall

And this RootsWeb thread is searching for Mary Ann Carson

Hi
Can you put details on here of this marriage between Robert H n Mary A C please.
I have searched everywhere and cannot find it, wondering if there is a mistake in one of the
names and that is why it is being elusive.

I have a great interest in the surname HALL as my lineage is from the same area as this Robert's, but I don't have him in my data, so maybe he is not one of mine or could be if his father was an elusive one to find too.

Bendy Wendy....I do not have a marriage cert for Robert Hall and Mary Ann Carson but am assuming they WERE married as I have a birth cert for one of their sons,Thomas and the mother is Mary Ann Hall formerly Carson and father is Robert Hall.
This couple were my Great Great Great Grandparents

Hi
It is most likely there is a transcription error on one of their surnames or Carson was not the surname Mary Ann used for marrying Robert. Or they didn't marry.

Have you been in contact with other people who have them in their tree's to see if anyone has birth certificates for their other children to see what details is given for the mother's names

Did you read the links I put on about others searching for same couple, I would like to know how one of them thinks his father is Thomas if there is no marriage certificate found

Keep searching

Thanks Bendy Wendy.....looking at the other links now!
Still think Mary Ann was nee Carson because in 1851 Mary Ann and Robert were living next door to Anthony and Sarah Carson, Mary Anns parents.

Have you a marriage for her parents, I think her mother was Sarah Lazell but cannot find a marriage for them.

1841 Cen Robert Halls aged 20 was living with Mary Ann Carson's family @ Cranham, but Mary Ann is not with them.
1851 Anthony Carson states born Norfolk, so did he and Robert know each other or related

In 1841 Mary Ann would be abt 13 years of age going by her age of 23 given on 1851 cen.
1851 eldest child is 5 years, so a marriage would have been abt 1844-46 making Mary Ann abt 16-18 years of age.

It could be that these families where Methodist's and therefore you will need to search the Essex Methodist Circuit Records for Cranham or nearby.

These records don't always have seperate registers for BMD instead they can be like a diary of what happened each particular meeting.

If they were not Methodist's then possibly Catholics, of which I believe there still is a catholic church and comes under the Diocese of Brentwood, you can contact the Diocese on this link to ask where you can view the records:

Think you might have the Cranham in Essex and the Cranham in Gloucestershire mixed up
