Title: John Reed Hawk 1834-1915
Post by: Huntleys71 on Saturday 16 September 17 17:01 BST (UK)

Can anyone help with information on John Reed Hawk and more specifically on "Eastcott" which I believe was (is) a farm Nr St. Dominick, Saltash.  Copies of any family photo's would be great.
It's a very long shot but if you don't ask you don't get.

Best regards and thank you.

Hi

Can you be more specific as to what info you are looking for about John so we don't duplicate what you already have.

Have you found him in the censuses from 1841 - 1911?   http://www.rootschat.com/links/01egx/

Have you found his marriage on freebmd?    www.freebmd.org.uk

Google your man,
maybe there's something in South West heritage centres online catalogues
and other sites for Cornwall, the Tamar and places near Plymouth

I found a 1950's wedding photo of my great uncle at Somerset HC. 🤣

You should be able to Street view the farm ... Eastcott Farm, St. Dominick, Saltash PL12 6TB
