A busy day with family history puzzles today.

My puzzles: Who was Samuel Hallam? where was he born and when did he die?

I know he married Hannah Hadfield in Bradfield, Yks 12 Feb 1810. I know he had at least three sons Alfred 1814-15, Edric Hallam 1817-1861, Reuben Hallam 1819-1908- also known as Wadsworth Jack.

Reuben spent his life in entertaining others- musician, singer, author, newspaper columnist, portrait artist, boxer, actor, cutler, cricket player, publican- the list seems endless.
Of Edric, Reuben's brother and my ancestor, little is known- other than birth, marriage, death, a child and a trade (cutler). He married young and died in his middle age, and almost certainly did not enjoy similar exploits to his brother. Of parents Samuel Hallam and Hannah Hatfield even less is known.
So this is my current puzzle to solve -who was Samuel Hallam? and what did he do in life?
