Born 20 May 1871[1][2] at his grandparents' home in Murray Street, Perth.[3][4]
Given a copy of Tennyson's works by Jay, for his 25th birthday.[5]
His entry in The Great North-West, 1904:[6]
Mr. Aubrey Hall's offices are also the local abode of the Adelaide Steamship Co., the South British Insurance Co., and the new Balla Balla Copper Mines Co. Ltd., for all of which Mr. Hall acts as agent. He has resided in Cossack for the last thirty years. He started his present business in 1894. Besides holding the previously-named agencies, Mr. Hall is a general shipping, Customs, and forwarding agent, and is port representative for many of the stations within a hundred miles radius. All the wool, embracing the clips from the east of the Yule River and west of Fortescue, and for 200 miles inland, is shipped from Cossack. The total for the past twelve months was about 7,000 bales. That which is not carted to Roebourne direct is picked up at the coastal creeks and transhipped at Cossack Roads to the Singapore steamers. The number of sheep and kangaroo skins forwarded by this firm during last year was approximately 50,000. Mr. Hall is also one of the proprietors of a small cattle station.
Engaged to Blanche Warburton in 1907.[7]
Married Helen Rose Hall (née Lodge) when he was 39, on 24 November 1910.[8][9]
In 1912 their first daughter, Connie, was born in Roebourne (in Roe's Cottage).[10]
Margaret was born in 1915, and soon afterwards Aubrey took a job as lighthouse keeper at Jarmen Island, the whole family moving there in part to get away from the extreme heat of Croydon station.[11] Here they shared the accommodation with Mr Langer, a German national who in 1916 was taken from his post and interned.[11] After his departure, Henry Ernest Hall joined Aubrey on Jarmen Island.
In about 1916 or 1917 he took a position as manager of Andover Station.[12]
In 1919 their third daughter, Joan was born.
1929, living at Stuart Street in Carnarvon.[13]
Working at Woopenatty Station near Arrino from 1943 to 1955 (possibly not continuously). The electoral roll lists him as a "station-hand" in 1955, and before this as a "pastoral employee".[14]
By the end of the 1950s he was living in a caravan at Comer Street in Como, Perth.[15]
He died aged 91 on 11 January 1963, in Swanbourne.[16][17]
