Talk:George Marshall-Hall

Hyphenated surname?
We say his father was the first to hyphenate Marshall with Hall, and his sons followed suit. But our friend did not hyphenate anything. He simply added Marshall to his surname, resulting in a double-barrelled unhyphenated surname.

Which means we should be titling the article George Marshall Hall , and defaultsorting it as Marshall Hall, George. No? This is what ADB does for him, although they hyphenate his surname while we don't. --   Jack of Oz   [Talk]  01:13, 13 June 2013 (UTC)


 * On reflection, given the evidence, it now seems clear his name was George Marshall-Hall. I've moved it accordingly and adjusted the text as appropriate.  --   Jack of Oz   [Talk]  00:54, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

More needed
This article is terrific but cuts out around 1895, so we miss his scarification by the Established Church, suspension from the University, appointment of Franklin Sievright (Sievwright ?) Peterson to the Ormond Chair after the Agent-General secretly excised Hall's name from the list of applicants, founding a rival Marshall Hall Conservatorium in the gallery of the Victorian Artists' Society building, Albert Street, East Melbourne, restoration to the Ormond chair, and finally, er, death.
