I am stuck and have spent hours trawling through records and no joy
This is what I know. George Hall married Margaret Allen in 1873 in South Shields. Verner, their son was born in 1874 in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland. Their next son, Raymond, was born in 1877 in Victoria. When Margaret died in 1895 her death certificate stated she had been 8 years in NSW and 12 in Victoria. And I know I am fed up!!!! Any suggestions would be so welcome!

I found that - don't know where now but it's on a scrap of paper! but two things puzzled me. According to his marriage certificate he was born in 1845 and where are Margaret and Verner?! Would you expect records for them all?

Its on Ancestry. Its possible that they travelled separately, maybe so that he could find work or something. Or maybe the passenger lists didn't bother with wives and children.

Hiya,
Considering the year they would have arrived they were probably Unassisted and paid their own fare....which means little information would have been asked for.
Maybe search by year and ship for just surname and hope to find a Mr, Mrs and child around the correct ages.

I just had a look at the Pubic Records Office of Victoria's index of Unassisted Immigrants. It looks like two brothers possibly (George 25 and Richard 27) no other Halls on that ship. There look to be quite a few George Halls (used Geo rather than full name) and Margaret Halls arriving between 1873 and 1877. If you want to sort through them and try to link them the indexes can be found here

Found them.
George, Margaret and Verner Hall sailed from Plymouth on 17 December 1875 on the Golden Sea for Adelaide, South Australia. (The South Australian Advertiser 23 Feb 1876 p.6)

Nothing beats our wonderful National Library's digitized newspapers - and they are free!
There are quite a few Tasmanian articles that mention Verner Hall if you want to search them too.
