HAWKINS, Plymouth 1861

Oh well, this one did not pan out. Parents were from the weavering Taylor branch in Tiverton, not the shopkeeping lot. Some you win some you lose.

Hi Rob

There is a family of Taylors living in Tiverton
Parents are John and Elizabeth. John's occupation is butcher/farmer. They have quite a few children one of them being William who is 7 in 1841 and 16 in 1851.

I think the best bet would be to order Anna Matilda Hawkins marriage cert. At least then you would be sure of William Henry Taylor's father.

Thanks Deb,

I already have it and Will Taylors dad was William Taylor, deceased (in 1872).

So, my hit list of Tiverton Taylors was those with a William as well (the one I went for was William and Sarah, the shopkeepers).

William Hawkins was Petty Officer, RN by then. Interesting that when he first came from Ireland he was a Ship's Carpenter.

Anna was 31 and WIlliam 36 when they married - maybe she did not have children.
