I Have marriage certificate of John Hawkins who married Eliza Hart 1875, father listed as Charles.
Charles either married Rachel Bougourd in Guernsey 1851 or that's where Rachel is from??

Bougourd does appear to be a Guernsey name?
As Guernsey is not a part of the UK, you might have to look there for answers.

I was told Mathew could possibly be Charles father, no mothers name was mentioned so I'm stuck.
There's so many Hawkins from Devonshire, not sure I'm on the right trail :-\
