I M Researching the Hallett Family from Adelaide South Australia
My grandfather was CECIL GWYDYR HALLETT (Gwydyr sometimes appears as Goyder, Cecil's mother Isabella's maiden name).
Cecil's grandfather was ALFRED HALLETT who emigrated from London to SA in 1836, joining his brother JOHN who had arrived in 1834.
I am visiting Adelaide from North Devon, England, in Feb/March 2018.

Thank you so much for these details - fabulous.
My husband and I have arrived in Athelstone this afternoon - we are staying here for a week. We're meeting Angela Farkas and Ian Grant at the SAPA office, with Colin Routley, on Thursday morning (1st March) - Angela, Ian and I are all second cousins to each other (newly-discovered, thanks to the PA!) and it's possible that Geoffrey Mitchell and his wife might come along too - Geoffrey is a descendant of John Hallett.
