GeneralOf Horton Hall. DL. Solicitor. Law Clerk to L&L canal.
Notes for Edward Hailstone
The Times has a death of an Edward Hailstone on Walton Hall, Wakefield, Yorks on 24th March 1890.  Might this have been him?

The subsequent obituary on the 4th April has him as a solicitor in Bradford, and law Clerk to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.  Sounds like he would have been well known to the Busfeilds.  He was also an antiquarian, being FSA.  But it makes no mention of any marriage or family.

In the 1881 census he was married but living on his own with five servants. Aged 65, b. in Bradford, York:
