Sarah Theodosia Branson

Sarah Theodosia Branson was baptised in April 1793. Her mother was Charlotte Catharina Hall (who was the sister of Henry Edward Hall snr., Sarah's future father-in-law).[1]

She married her first cousin Henry Edward Hall jnr. and they emigrated to Western Australia in 1830 with six children:[2] Sarah Louisa (aged 10), Henry Hastings (8), Laetitia (7), Theodosia Sophia (2), William Shakespeare Hall (4) and James Anderton Hall (1). Two of Shakespeare and Anderton's grandchildren, Helen Margaret Hall and William Murray Wilson, were married in 1949.

Sarah died on 17 February 1858.[2] The notice in Perth's Inquirer and Commercial News gives her age as 63,[5] but this does not agree with her having been baptised in April 1793.
