Impossible man number 2
Arthur Atlantice Hallam
He was in Australia as curate of Walgett in 1899. I have found a Rev Arthur A Hallam with a wife Hilda and 2 children, Samuel Benown and David Barrabus sailing from Kingston to Bristol in 1919. He is not the Arthur Hallam who married Hilda Grice in Basford 1911 as a family tree on ancestry has different children for them. I am wondering if maybe he was American?

Or it could be that the family tree on ancestry is wrong?
Edit - no, never mind, I've had a look at the Hallam / Grice births on FreeBMD!

On the 1930 census Samuel and David Hallam are pupils at the Five Points House of Industry in Ramapo Town, Rockland County, NY, with a Joseph Hallam. Samuel is 14, born Florida, parents' birthplaces unknown, David 12 born New York, parents' birthplaces unknown, and Joseph is 9 born New York, father born on ocean, mother born Br West Indies. So maybe he isn't Samuel and David's brother, or maybe he's their half-brother or something?
