Amelia Sophia Hawar and Joseph Henry Williams
« on: Sunday 02 March 08 07:08 GMT (UK) »
Hi All
Am in a quandary My ggggg grandparents, Amelia Sophia Hawar and Joseph Henry Williams were married in Islington in the March quarter of 1843. They then had three children baptised at St Clement Danes, Westminster, London on 21st July 1848. Children were Amelia, Joseph Thomas and Mary Jane. Amelia and Mary Jane came to Australia where they married and had families. However, no family groups appear to neatly  fit the arrival of Amelia and Mary Jane and no single passengers seem to fit the age and time, particularly for Amelia. One ship The Herald of the Morning fits the age of the two girls, but the other names listed have no relation to my current information. Whilst I haven't discounted this I need further information. 

From this arises two other issues, firstly where does the surname Hawar come from? I've been searching for quite some time and seem to be getting nowhere fast for an answer to this question, and secondly could someone suggest where I might go to find some information on Joseph Thomas if he remained in England?

Regards
Wren

Hi Sue
I did a search of the census and couldn't find anything, but thats not to say it isn't there.
I'm mainly wondering where the surname Hawar originated. I though maybe the middle east as there is a Hawar resort in Bahrain. Just not sure.
Thanks Wren

HARWAR

Thomas - 40 - law writer
Amelia - 15
Jeffrey - 15

On studying the 1841, the name seems concentrated in Middlesex and Cheshire.

Hi Sue and Daisy,
Wow! Thank you for your kindness. I'll follow this lot up now. Boy if they lost all of these children it must have been devastating. I know infant mortality was huge but they look like they spent a great deal of time at the cemetery.
Just one last question was a law writer someone who recorded the law.
Sorry I'm just an Aussie who has little understanding of English occupation terminology.
Thanks again Wren.
