I would be most grateful if anyone is able to add to the following information:

Foster HALL b. 1832 in Co. Roscommon, Ireland and died about 1899 in Narrandera, New South Wales Australia. (He is the uncle of my Grandfather, Thomas Hall who was born in 1878, the son of Foster’s brother Thomas who was born 1836).

Married Maria Cullen on 7 Mar 1857 at St Peter’s Athlone, Westmeath, Ireland

1st child was Patritius baptised 18 Apr 1858 at St Peter’s Athlone, Westmeath, Ireland

2nd child Maria b 4 Jun 1860 at Drum, Roscommon, Ireland

Family must have emigrated to Australia between Jun 1860 and 1867

3rd child Catherine b circa 1864 in Queensland, Australia. She married James MYERS on 14 May 1891 in Narrandera, New South Wales Australia. She died on 22 Mar 1918 in Narrandera, New South Wales Australia. I believe that they had at least 2 sons and 4 daughters

4th child Thomas was born circa 1866 in Queensland, Australia.

5th child Mary Ann was born 28 April 1868 in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. She married Martin HOGAN on 29 Sep 1904 at in Narrandera, New South Wales Australia. I believe that they had at least 1 daughter.

6th child Patrick was born 25 Mar 1870 In Queensland, Australia.

7th child George was born circa 1872 in Benella, Victoria, Australia. He died circa 1928 at Coolamon, New South Wales, Australia.

8th child James was born circa 1877 at Dookie, Great Shepperton, Victoria, Australia.

9th child Ellen was born circa 1883 at Khul, Victoria, Australia. She married Thomas SLATTERY circa 1917 at Narrandera, New South Wales Australia.

I would be interested in any information which will assist me in extending this family line, particularly information of date and ship recording their their emigration.

Ancestry has this record of a baptisn that fits the details you have given:

Name: Foster Hall

Gender: Male

Baptism Date: 12 Feb 1832

Baptism Place: St. Peter's, Athlone and Drum, Roscommon, Ireland

Father's name: Patritii Hall

Mother's name: Mariae Tully

I would think this is a RC baptism as all names seem to be in the Latin form.

The only other child baptised there is

Name: Patritius Hall

Gender: Male

Baptism Date: 26 Aug 1838

Baptism Place: St. Peter's, Athlone and Drum, Roscommon, Ireland

Father's name: Patritii Hall

Mother's name: Mariae Tully

There is also a don Thomas recorded

Name: Thomas Hall

Gender: Male

Birth Date: 1 Jun 1836

Birth Place: Roscommon, Ireland

Father's name: Patritii Hall

Mother's name: Mariae Tully

I am guessing that Ireland was like Scotland in that the wife kept her maiden name throughout her life, only sometimes using her husband's surname when it suited her - probably if she came to England or Wales.

I did fine an Obit for Foster that says he came to Australia in 1861, and if you contact me through my site, I'll forward this on to you.

Hope this helps.
