hankins

[dalek39]

Hello there "Glamis"..Will PM you later, just read your thread..correction Mdear..It was John Hankins who married Hannah Maria Herbert/Hankins, and he was the Veterinary Surgeon with 11 children..Hanna Maria Hankins died at the age of 44 leaving John Hankins with all the Children...I have John and Hannas' death certificates, plus a lot of information on this family.. Its so easy to get confused with the Hankins,  (I was an expert with confusion)  The Pidgeon house, was once rented by William Hankins, John Hankins grandfather, but the original Hankins owner was on a different line than ours....maybe cousins... I have all the dates etc..and documentation going back to the 1600s  I will put together what I know, unfortunately, the last two years I have not done any more research..due to the death of my husband......

Dalek39, Thank Heavens you stepped in and corrected my mistake. It was the Hannah Maria that threw me.Anyway,I hope you; ValerieB1959 are able to find your way through the various Hankins without too much problem.Dalek39 really is so very resourceful and helpful. She has so much information about the family that will help. She's also a cousin; born from J H Hankins youngest sister Alice.

Thanks Glamis

that explains a lot.. I certainly got the impression that Annie Maria's involvement with Edward was not approved of. After all they did live defacto.. Not done then.
Edward was the nephew of Thomas Frederick Paul Hankins. Edward was the son of his next brother who died at 30 and buried at Dymock. TFP certainly looked out for Edward and his brother Thomas Frederick Hankins. He was a master mariner (see index for welsh mariners) raised in Usk and died in ship wreck at 25 i think. TFP was the heir of Greenhouse dymock but his father disinherit him in his will. That was the end of Greenhouse for that line of Hankins. John the next brother inherited and he married Elizabeth Holloway. There lots of legal docs at the archives regarding the financial demise of this line. Not had funds to acquire them though.  My daughters family of Hankins never knew anything beyond Annie Maria. Seems to be hidden from descendants probably because of embarrassment. Edward seemed like a right charmer. Always called himself a gentleman despite his constant bankruptcies and shonky dealings. There is a collection of articles regarding Annie Maria in the Auckland museum deposited by her daughter. All sorts of letters, dance cards and other bits and pieces.

Hi ValerieB1959, Thank You. You've clarified the Greenhouse matter for me although I still get very confused by these Hankinns because there were so very many of them. I am interested to hear of TFP Hankins being a mariner because Ian Hankins who was son of Elizabeth and Ford Hankins ( Ford being a younger son of J H Hankins. Mum says he was also a solicitor in the firm) was also a Ship's Captain. Ian sailed tankers all around the world ending up in Vancouver, Canada. I met him here about 15 years ago when he came to see my Mum; his cousin. Mum says Uncle Ford dealt a mean parenting method to Ian and because of that Ian left home around 14 or 15 years old to go to sea.Ian described himself as ' illegitimate' because he'd been born the other side of the matrimonial bed although his parents obviously married after his birth.His sisters were Gwynedd and June Hankins. J H Hankins' wife; Agnes favoured these two and paid for them to go to private school- Carn Tot school in Palmerston North where they lived. Whilst June and Gwynedd were friends with my Mum and they came to play with her when Mum lived with her Aunt May (another child from J H Hankins and Agnes ) Mum was never invited to their home although she knew the street and the house they lived in. Anyway, I am in England near to Portsmouth and my Mum lives just 1 mile from me and will soon be 94. Dalek39 is in Melbourne, Australia. I know Dalek39 has many papers and she also has contact with a wonderful chap in Hereford who is a very keen amateur but very proficient researcher and has been actively searching our Hankins lot for a few years.

Hi Glamis

You got a bit confused with TFP Hankins.. He was the Rev TFP Hankins the brother of William henry who died in 1830 at Greenhouse . It was his son TFP Hankins Nephew who was the mariner. He was named after his uncle TFP but his name was Thomas Frederick (no Paul) Hankins

[Glamis]

Hi ValerieB1959, Thanks for clearing that up. What did I say about there being so many Hankins and I should also add the way they recycled names through the family.

Hi I'm Norm (in New Zealand) my link is via Margaret Hankins of Worcester who married John Martin Holloway (1780). She was the daughter of Edward Hankins & Ann Barton. His parents were William & Ursula. Williams parents were William married to Susannah Elton both of Ledbury. Looking for both their births and who was Ursula?
