Default Jane Hall and Joseph Newton - and Arnold Hall

OH's ancestors.

They married at Manchester Cathedral in 1807 by Licence.

When their son James (born 1811) married in 1834 at Southwark, one of the witnesses was Arnold Hall.

I believe Arnold Hall was this chap:

Baptism: 10 May 1807 Old St George, Stalybridge, Lancashire, England
Arnold Hall S. of James Hall & Martha
Abode: Stayley Bridge
Source: LDS Film 2356038

He died in 1846.
Name: Age at Death (in years):
HALL, ARNOLD 38
GRO Reference: 1846 M Quarter in ASHTON AND OLDHAM Volume 20 Page 71

This is also verified by a newspaper announcement.

He is with his parents in 1841:

His father died in 1848 and left a long will.

How are James, Martha and Albert Hall connected to Jane Hall who married Joseph Newton?

Could Jane be James Hall's sister or cousin?
Albert Hall was contemporary with the two children of Joseph and Jane Newton - Hannah, born c. 1808 and James born c. 1811. Were they cousins?


I can't find a baptism for Jane Hall c. 1779. She died in 1865 at Upper Norwood and left a will.



There is a lot of information about James Hall here on Find a Grave:

Is she the one from Stalybridge, Lancashire or Ashton? (not close together!)

There's:

Stalybridge, Old St George

1 Mar 1778 Jinney Hall dau of Thomas Hall cloth miller of Staley Bridge by Sarah

I think Jinney is often really Mary Jane, but thought it deserved a mention, but I may have been looking at the wrong person on the census!

Oh at the same church there's also a Jenny Hall in 1777, different parents (John and Nancy), but they were not living at Stalybridge - probably close by though.

That 1777 bap says Cooker Hill for abode, but it also says Ashton on the edge of the page, so that's a bit more confusion. I don't know where this Ashton would be?

I'll wait for your return before I look for anything else!

It is the common scenario (in my tree) where counties converge.
Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire in this case. It makes research very confusing.
