Sorry Ian, but I don't think there is a connection. My Eliza HALL was born ( about 1848)) at Belfast, Vic (now Port Fairy) and died in 1933. I know nothing of her antecedents at all (in the absence of certificates) except that I do know she was married to Walter Thomas PETERS, 21 March 1871, in Tarnagulla, Vic. It was her surviving children (PETERS) who moved to WA. I am not aware of her HALL family other than this. Wish I could have been of more help.
