That would be wonderful - at the moment I am at a loss as to why he should have asked
permission from his Wesleyan Methodist bosses to 'reside in America as a
supernumery' twice - once in 1888 for a year + then in 1891 for a year - presumably
as a preacher on another Rev's circuit and then to retire to the US in 1896. I see his
wife (Margaret Mitchell nee Allan 1831 - 1911) buried in the same cemetary. He has at
least 4 kids - George Hall (born 1861), John Alexander (1864 - 1952), Alan Herbert (born
1869) + Edith Mary (born 1871) My only thought is that 1 or more of his kids went out + he
followed them
I have another completly unrelated (well so far anyway!)Chambers Methodist group from Rev
William Chambers (1807 - 1882) - so any Chambers with a dash of Methodist fervour would be
of interest
Look forward to any info you come across - Suzanne
