Title: Hawthorn of Snenton
Post by: sandral on Thursday 15 May 08 15:31 BST (UK)
Does anyone have a connection with George Hawthorn born 1850 in Snenton and his family Fred, George, Frank, James, Edgar or Nellie all born within time span 1878-86? Or Sophia Hawthorn who married Theophilus Bunny?

Theophilus Bunny fits into my 'Bunny' family.  He was the son of William Bunny and Louisa Wright.  However I can't help you with the Hawthorn family.

No connection but "Theophilus Bunny" is a fantastic name!

Notts FHCD gives a date for Theo and Sophia's marraige - Lowdham 20.3.1870 - do you already have that? There is also a baptism for Sophia, parents George and Elizabeth, in Sneinton in 1850.

Are you after any more info or just contacts?

I agree it is a fantastic name.  Unfortunately it looks like he left the wife and Nottingham area on 1901/11 censuses. I  had the marriage date.  I did have the date of Sophia's baptism - she was actually illegitimate and her father George is part of my family line having left his family in Leicester workhouse.  However, his sons went on to better things, having settled in USA - so workhouse did not hold them back!

Elizabeth Hawthorn had a sister but I never did find out what happened to her.  Elizabeth was born 1817 in Nottingham.
