George Hall (Australian politician)

In 1844 he returned to South Australia on the "Taglioni",[3] and started a business salt-curing beef using a setup of his own design.

[13] He was a founder, with Henry Ayers, F. H. Faulding and a dozen others in 1861, of the South Australian Gas Company.

He submitted his resignation in July 1853[15][16] around the same time as that of J. T. Bagot, forcing the prorogation of parliament, and travelled to Great Britain, returning in August 1854.

The last newspaper reference to Mrs Hall in Adelaide was in March 1866[18] so she may have left some time between then and 1867 when their house had been let.

[20] From 1857,[21] or perhaps earlier, he was the owner of "Woodside House", a 15-room home on 20 acres on Fullarton Road, Upper Mitcham which he irrigated,[22] and which was later incorporated into Peter Waite's "Urrbrae".

Robert's son George Liddell Hall made newspaper headlines when he disappeared off Glenelg jetty on 5 January 1891.
