Early life
He was the natural son of Sir Robert Hall (1778-1818), a naval officer, and Miss Mary Ann Edwards.[1]
Hall joined the Royal Navy in 1833.[2] Promoted to captain in 1855, he commanded HMS Gladiator in the Sea of Azov and HMS Miranda in the Black Sea during the Crimean War.[2] He was then given command of HMS Termagant.[2]
