Hi Brook,
I too have an interest in Ann Hawk(e) Keast and William Hawk(e) snr [1st cousin *3 removed]
My grandmother on my fathers side was Bessie Hawk(e) who married my grandfather George Serle in 1909.
Sadly I do not have a photo of George Henry Serle but iI do have one of Bessie.
Would it be ok if I copied the photo's that you have put up on this site?
I'm happy to share the info that I have on my family if you are interested.
Regards, Geoff

Hi
I had done a general search but there does not seem to be anyone looking for SERLE's at the the moment.

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.

This is the reply I got from pwdro when I wrote to them earlier this year.

The surviving admission registers for Plymouth College are held by us but are subject to a restriction on access for a period of 100 years.
This means that registers which are over 30 years old but not yet 100 years old can only be viewed in our Public Search Room and no notes of any kind or photographs can be made of them.

Alfred (Alan) was my father and there are obviously parts of his life that I am familiar with but his early life is proving difficult to research. Both my parents are now long passed and I represent a dwindling blood line. I do remember my mother telling me that he went to Plymouth College and that it was regarded as a minor Public School ?  He was very good at hockey and may have represented the school/county? He excelled in chemistry. But where did he go prior to 1936? He was in the Palestine Police Force and the RAF and I have his service records from that time.

Does anyone know when the 1921 census will be released? presumably not until 2021? but then why have they released the 1939 one  or does that not count?

I'm looking for info on Alfred Serle specifically on Plymouth College. Admission registers, exam results When did he start there? When did he leave? What house was he in? Was he a boarder or day border?
I have contacted the records office at Plymouth and they have told me that I can view their records BUT, no notes, photographs or recordind by any means.  Not having a photographic memory I don't know how much value this would be. I have also contacted the College itself but they say all their records are with the records office. I have also tried old newspapers and the old plymothian magazine.
I'm interested in how other people have dealt with this problem. I do appreciate that within the record there may be people who are still alive and they have a right to privacy.  Why are school records from 1920's so difficult to obtain? Bearing in mind that the 1939 census is available on line?

Any help or suggestions appreciated.
