Help needed please! William Hawking in London, c1825 - 1868

[JenB]

Richard Hawking seems to acquire his family in an unconventional manner.

On 1861 census - (name written down as  Hanking)  he is with his two sons, William and John Wright from Saxmundham, Suffolk!!   This can't be right.   Plus Rebecca Fairweather as servant.

ADDED   In 1861 Richard Hawking is a retired schoolmaster.  So ties in with William with that

In 1861 Richard Hawking, born St Dominick in Cornwall is living in Clerkenwell, and is a 'Proprietor of Houses'.
RG 9 / 192 / 66 / 11

Sorry      That should read 1851

I'm still waiting to hear from the Charterhouse to see if there are any records

Most records relating to Charterhouse pensioners in the 1800s are deposited at London Metropolitan Archives (ACC/1876/PS).

Summary here ...

Full details in the LMA catalogue here ...

(section starting p. 401)

In case it helps, the Charterhouse Pensioners' Admissions Register at LMA (ACC/1876/PS/01/013, p. 15) gives his date of birth as 2 February 1798, his date of admission to the Charterhouse as 23 November 1865 (sponsored by the Earl of Derby, in succession to J. Banister), his age on admission as 67, and his date of death as 7 November 1868, which you already have. No place of birth is given in the Register.

Thanks again all - I have a lot to go through. Looks like I need to do a whole generation analysis for Richard and the other siblings.

Before that though - Bookbox: where did you find those records? I can only get the LMA catalogue online, and there's nothing in Ancestry or FindMyPast.

The records are not online. I was working at LMA today.
