Bishop made an announcement which was reported in the West Australian on 22 July 1884 that he intends to retire as Bishop of Perth on 31st March 1885, this announcement conflicts with the article which says he retired as Bishop of Perth in 1875. Gnan garra 07:42, 24 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Following Information was included in the article and is being moved here:

Some Items for Research

1. It has been claimed that Mathew Hale attended Katharine Lady Berkerley School, the oldest Grammar School in England, at Wotten-under-Edge but no specific evidence for this has been found. However, members of his family became involved with the governing of this school from c.1830 and Hale himself taught there when he was curate at Wotten-under-Edge. See Gourlay, M. 2015 The Good Bishop - The story of Mathew Hale p.156, note 17.

2. There is no direct evidence of Hale being influenced by Charles Simeon but his close friend Harold Browne was and Hale’s beliefs and practices are consistent with Simeon’s. See Gourlay 2015, pp. 9, 114-115.

3. A Richard Blagden Hale emigrated to South Australia in 1838 in the Lord Gooderich and was a customs officer at Port Adelaide. It has been claimed (Wikipedia Mathew Hale (bishop) accessed 5 July 2017) that this was an elder brother of Mathew. However, John Richard Blagden Hale (b1809 - d 13 Oct 1864) enlisted as a SubLieutenant in the first Regiment of Life Guards on 7 June 1831. He later was serving in India in the 1850s where he was wounded and decorated for service in the relief of Lucknow. He retired with the rank of Colonel. His location in 1838 is currently unknown.

4. It has been stated that “In 1855 he (Mathew Hale) returned to England without his family.” (Wikipedia Mathew Hale (bishop) accessed 5 July 2017) Evidence for this trip is lacking. However, he did make a trip to England without his family leaving Perth in December 1858, returning there in 1860 with his family who had accompanied him on his earlier trip to England in 1857. See Gourlay 2015, pp. 39-40, 124-125.

5. Hale departed from Sydney on 2 May 1885 in Thames bound for England via Colombo. He arrived in London on 14 July in Tehran. Where did he change ships and why did the voyage take more than ten weeks rather than the usual six weeks?
