Member Since: December 2005 Posts: 2 Send Message	Looking for William Halls, Hall or Halse b. abt 1824 St agnes Cornwall. Thanks to the help of genes reunited members I managed to find out much more about his son Joseph b. November 1851 by tracking the family using different surname spellings. This has lead me to william Halls (HALL in this census) who only appears with his family once in 1851 census with his wife Eliza (Maiden name Hodge) and 2 daughters. HOWEVER! Then poof he's gone! dead i presume, Eliza has a "lodger" William Williams and those Halls babies just keep coming!!! He was the "lodger" in 1861, 1871, 1881 census even moving with the family from cornwall to lancashire. I have Joseph Halls Birth Cert and it says William Halls is the father but it was ELiza the mother who registered him 4 months after the birth. But what I need to know is when did William Halls die? Any help appreciated Fay
