Hi
Not been on RC for a while, been chasing Crabb relatives in Cornwall.
Now back on my Hawkins quest.
I am trying to find something about William Hawkins, born 1841, Belfast. His parents were William (1812) and Mary Ann(1810), who I also would like to know more about.
Later they were in Donaghadee and all moved to Plymouth around 1860.
William senior was a ship's carpenter, but William (1841) was gunners mate. I have his RN service record.
I see from the Belfast Registry that there are 3 other younger children in a plot from a William and Mary Ann Hawkins, who could be the right people, and also might explain moving to Donaghadee (2 died of measles and the third premature and unbaptised).
Any ideas where I might dredge up info on these people?
Other children were Hugo Francis (1842), and Anna Matilda (1840). Anna married Henry Taylor (policeman) and Hugo went by the name Francis and married Eliza Crabb.
Regards
Rob
