George Hall (was born in 1818 to William Hall and Frances Durrant in Sussex, England). He married Ellen Crawford in 1841. There are some published misconceptions about George and Ellen, one being that they were Irish.  Confirmed is that they married  in Kent in 1849.  At the time she was a servant in France.  It is not clear where he was based, however 1849 finds them and some children on a boat to Adelaide.  George worked at the
Adelaide Club and made softdrink as a second income until the softdrink business blossomed into George Hall & Sons of Norwood. Both his mother and father lived with them at Marryatville.  George died in 1881 and Ellen died in 1872, both at Norwood.  All four are burried at West Tce, Adelaide.  We have a book of George & Ellen's with family addresses in the UK.

1. Mary (no children)
2. Eleanor married John Cornelius Lyons (2 children)
3. George died as an infant (in France)
4. William married Emma Maria Hearn (3 children)
5. Henry married Charlotte Howett (5 children)
6. Rebecca married Henry Pether (4 children) 
7. Thomas married
8. James married Jessie Emmeline Bleechmore (8 children)
9. Edward married Ada Catherine Chapman (10 children)
10. Fannie married Arthur Threlfall (2 children)

Mine is the family of Rebecca Hall and Henry Pether. Rebecca was born on the ship (The Florentia) on the way to Port Adelaide. After Henry died (see Pether) Rebecca lived in both Elizabeth Street and later Edward Street at Norwood. She then moved up to Lenswood to Givendale, the home of her daughter Eva and Henry Trevenen.  Eleanor's  children were also, at various times, living at Lenswood.

All information on George Hall or Ellen Crawford before they came to Australia or their forebears is most welcome.  The Crawford side is particularly lean.

Trevenen Family

Henry Trevenen was born about 1796 in Cornwall, England. He was a farmer in Perranuthnoe, a shopkeeper (Breage Churchtown, Cornwall) and later butcher (Payneham, South Australia).  He married Jane Andrew in 1825 and had 5 children (Jane, Henry, William Andrew, Mary and Eliza). They moved to South Australia (in separate groups around 1849-1851).

1. Jane married William Wear in 1882 and lived at Payneham (no children)
2. Henry married Eliza Behanna in 1845 (in England) (4 children)
3. William Andrew married Margaret Howard Birt in 1862 (8 children)
4. Mary married Fredercik Scarfe in 1850 (0 children?)
5. Eliza married John Pitt in 1855 (10 children)

Mine is the family of William Andrew and Margaret Howard Birt. William operated a butcher shop with his father Henry, at Marden. William died at on 2 Nov 1878 at 47 as the result of a fall from a horse. He was buried at St Matthew's on Kensington Road. His headstone is now near the church walls. Margaret bought up their children and later moved to WA with 4 of her children. She died in 1929. My Great Grandfather was a son of William and Margaret and purchased Givendale at Lenswood. SA.

I would be interested in information on the Trevenen and Andrew sides from Cornwall. I am able to track the Henry Trevenen through Perranuthnoe, Porthleven, Churchtown, Parish of Breage, Kerrier, Cornwall - then Payneham, South Australia and Jane Trevenen (nee Andrew) through Sithney,then Porthleven, then Churchtown, Cornwall, then Payneham, South Australia.  I have gone back on Henry's side to his Great, Grandparents (Edward and Mary). Jane's side only leads to her parents.
