Thankyou for that information. Ihave to say that indeed these are my 'lost relatives'. I am trying to piece together the story. I believe my gt. gt.grandfather John Hall, was also infamous for his eggnog, which was supposed to be the best around. He kept his own dairy herd. I am trying to piece together scraps of information, and sadly most relatives on this side of the family have passed away. I have to say that our behaviour has improved somewhat since those days, but it would be a very interesting story. These is a 'myth' about Battersea Park that has been passed through the family. I will get there in the end.

Thankyou MaureeninNY, Aaron was myGt Gt Grandfather, He had 2 daughters Margaret who was my Gt Grandmother and Mary. I am told that they were christened at the infamous Red House Inn. A relative is trying to trace the will of Aaron. The story is slowly coming together.
