The Hall Family appear in the 1841, 1851 & 1861 English census in Whites Square Clapham. Robert Hall is recorded in the 1871 census as an inmate at the Wandsworth & Clapham Union Workhouse this is presumably where he died.

On the 25th of September 1856 the newly married William & Ellen departed Liverpool England aboard the ship 'Oliver Lang' bound for New Zealand. The voyage was a record in 85 days the 'Oliver Lang' had reached Port Nicholson Wellington. William Hall's first wife Ellen Regan was likely a refugee fleeing the privations caused by the 1845 'Potato Famine' in her homeland of Ireland. Ellen Regan died due to 'Dropsy of the bowel'.

William Hall - Born 16th of June 1828 Clapham Surrey England. Died 9th of October 1897 Wimbledon Surrey England. Occupations: Bricklayer & Plasterer, Farmer, Grocer.

Married 1st of June 1875 House of William Hall Tikokino Central Hawkes Bay New Zealand.

William Hall's second marriage was to the widowed Mrs Mary Martin nee Anderson. Mary Ann Anderson is recorded in the 1851 English census aged five. Marys father must have recently died as the census reads of Marys family 'in receipt of parish relief'. Appearing in the 1861 census Mary Anderson is working as a general servant. The 1871 census shows George & Mary Martin living at 26 Princes St Chelsea, George was working as a 'Smiths Labourer'. Mary Martin & her first husband George immigrated to New Zealand aboard the ship 'Chile' arriving in Napier on the 28th of December 1872. Sadly their daughters Fanny & Eliza died at sea, they were four & two years respectively. After only two months in Napier Mary gave birth to her third child Alice. Tragically George who had found work as a shoemaker died on the 25th of March 1875 from Typhoid fever. Shortly following her husbands death Marys forth child was born, a son George. When William Hall proposed marriage Mary gladly accepted. William & Mary's second son John was sickly & died after 13 months from Dysenteric diaorrhoea. Nine months after James was born Mary who was being treated for 'Nervious depression' took her own life by consuming strychnine which at the time was a common household item. Mary had given birth to nine children in fifteen years perhaps she was suffering from post-natal depression this combined with the pressures of life as a pioneer proved to much.
