I'll PM that member with a link to this thread .
I can't find George + Mary or Rose Hallis anywhere btwn marriage 1897+ george's death 1935 should come up on 1901/1911 census ...could be more misspellings (runs in the family ...I make plenty myself .)

Thanks ; Mary ;another step closer to finding a maternal cousin for my mother (thru adoption) .
Robert (member with Hallis family on his tree) kindly emailed 5 marriage certificates .my mother especially pleased because the one she sent for was printed.
wheras these have her grandfather Samuel Hallis' original signature as witness to martha's wedding .
we now have some more clues on addresses too ;
george was at victoria (illegible) for his marriage in 1897...don't know how long he lived in Norwich but his death ,probate and burial in 1935 are all in birkenhead
Edith's death was given as 10 stoke st in 1906 but this could be a hospital address as she lived with her parents in1901 aged 30
Edward married from 38 bright st birkenhead in 1897

in 1901 Edward Hallis was probably already in south Africa as a Railway official
his wife Lillian Alice Hallis was living with her father + mother Thomas + Mary Hird
her occupation was given as milliner


the 1912 shipping record is a edward coming back TO GB on a visit via Mozambique in 1912 he was a resident of South Africa by then

George Hallis also went to US
and his wife Mary Eliza Hallis nee Long went with him or joined him
daughter Rose Hallis

i haven't found their shipping records but

have been told there is evidence of them on Familysearch

Rose Mills (born Hallis) aged 49 married Stewart Frank Mills aged 54 both divorcees

at port shepston Natal south Africa
