RICHARD CARRUTHERS, of VANCOUVER, Canada
says : "I descend from JANE surnamed variously HALES or HALL
who married Robert LARGE of Purton, Wilts. at All Saints' parish church,
Lydiard Millicent, Wilts. by licence on 29 March 1726.
The marriage entry lists her name as Jane HALL, but the marriage licence bond from the Bishop of Sarum [Salisbury]
refers to her as Jane HALES of Lydiard Millicent. There are no HALL or HALES
baptisms at Lydiard Millicent, but there are HALE ones.
I find a suitable baptism for her under the following entry from the register of
Lydiard Millicent, Wilts., viz.: Jane daughter of Richard HALE was baptised 20
February 1705 [i.e. 1705/6].
I wonder if anyone knows who Richard HALE's wife was, and the earlier generations
of his family?" [purton$shaw.ca]

- In PERTH, Australia DY TAYLOR SAYS: "
I am tracking back through my Birmingham HALE line and I've discovered that my GGGrandfather
William was originally from Cirencester - he appears to have made the move to Birmingham as a young
man. He was born 16/11/1824 to parents Elizabeth and Jasper HALE (b 21/04/1805 Cirencester, then
transported as a convict to NSW Australia in 1830 - he never came back to UK). Elizabeth remained
in Cirencester with William and his siblings Mary Ann b 21/05/1823, Jasper b 07/08/1828 and
Elizabeth b 04/06/1830. I would love to find out more about the Cirencester HALE families. I know
Jasper's (b1805) parents' names were Richard and Elizabeth HALE but that's as far back as I've got
for now.
