When did his wife die?

According to several trees on Ancestry she died in Lambeth in October 1847

Don't know if you have the marriage cert but his wife was Elizabeth Priscilla Caunter they married 03/10/1822 witness by Ro. H Hawkings and Esther Eliza (looks like) Harrison

Sorry I meant the second wife Jane. 

Presume this is the death registration for her.

Dec 1867 W.London
Jane Hawking 42

So William and Jane should both be somewhere in 1861 but

The second marriage is another thing that makes me suspicious/exasperated/confused, because his residence in the Charterhouse was on the proviso that he was a widower, which he can't have been unless Jane died prior to him entering the Charterhouse in 1865.

Have you got a copy of the marriage to Jane?

[Milliepede]

There's a Jane married to a Richard Hawking who is 38 in 1861 Westminster so I suppose it's possible the 1867 death is hers.

Have you got a copy of the marriage to Jane?

St John the Evangelist Westminster.

10 July 1856
William Hutching Hawking, 58, Widower, Collector, 3 St Johns Terrace. Father Samuel Hawking, Hosier

Jane Battershall, 32, Spinster, Milliner, 52 Marsham Street. Father James Battershall, Farmer.

Frustratingly, I can't find Jane in 1851 either
