Hello Slowhands
- thanks for such a prompt reply
yes to all of above--these are the Hales I am tracing
works in with my father-in-law's memories of his mother and father and their surnames and where they lived--I am trying to trace back as my husband had rare cancer and I think this may travel down the male line..

re: John's 1846 death--- I am not sure this info can be proven--taken from Ancestry.com --but no supporting info or death cert with this information

John's birthdate means he was very young when married Isabella Badger (John her first husband--and have found trail for whole family via Ancestry right down to her second marriage to Webb..1841 census) and although odd = very possible John was young when married as people did marry young in those days [and all of my Hales look older than they are as they are tall and big boned people...]
His birth place also taken from ancestry so am trying to back all of this up with further evidence
I have found info on ancestry that fits in with John maybe having spent some time in prison..this may explain his absence from his family in the 1841 census....

My thinking is that wherever the 1818 birthdate originated from (again taken from research by another family on ancestry.com) may have been error in transcript translation and could have been 1810?

What do you think?
Any further info very grateful
Thanks again
Chris Hale
