Looking for information for Hawkins Family

[rhawk204]

I'm trying to trace my Hawkins and Price ancestors. They were both born in Ireland. James Hawkins born in 1835-1839. Mary Catherine born in Jan 1839.I don't know which county. My two GEDmatch numbers are SX6979950 and NF1992970.

Thanks
Rick

Some of the information that I do have:

Name is Richard Hawkins
My two GEDmatch numbers are NF1992970 and SX6979950

I am trying to trace my father's side of the family. The family name is Hawkins. My great-grandfather and my great-grandmother were from Ireland and I believe from the Cork area. I have located a few documents that show that my great-grandfather and great-grandmother were born in Ireland but I can't find any documentation that states where they lived in Ireland before they moved to the U.S.
Most of the Hawkins family lived in the New Orleans area.

This is a summary of the details that I have:

William Andrew Hawkins Jr– Father
born – 11/10/1921 in New Orleans
death – 8/5/1996 in Lafayette
Married to Eleanor Glyn Townsend on 3/22/1952
Youngest on 9 children. His father died when he was 15 so his older sister raised him

William Andrew Hawkins Sr – Grandfather
born – 5/13/1869 in New Orleans. Voter ID card has his birth date
death – 9/24/1934 in New Orleans. There is an obit in the Times Picayune
Married to Emma May Baumy on 2/23/1895. I have copy of marriage license. Shows that the parents were James L Hawkins/Mary Price and Louis Baumy/Sarah Oaks
Had 10 children

Emma May Baumy – Grandmother
born – 5/21/1876 in New Orleans
death – 2/9/1923 in New Orleans

James L Hawkins – Great Grandfather
born – 1835-1839  in Ireland, possibly Cork. Can't find a birth certificate for him
death -  9/2/1881 in New Orleans. I have a copy of the death certificate and states he was from Ireland and I have a copy of the obit in The Times Picayune
Naturalization Date – 9/30/1874  - not confirmed
Married to Mary Catherine Baumy Price on 7/20/1854. I have a copy of the marriage license. She was a widow that was married to a James Barrow on 7/2/1852. I have the obit for both Mary Catherine and James Barrow from The Times Picayune,
I have a US Census from 6/4/1860 that shows a James Hawkins, age 22 from Dublin Ireland living in New Orleans. Not sure if this is the correct James but his age of 22 would be feasible.
I have a migration form for the gulf ports region saying that a James Hawkins Jr arrived during 1846, age 7 and from Ireland. The age matches but not sure if this is the correct person

Mary Catherine Baumy Price – Great Grandmother
born – 1/xx/1839 in Ireland. I don't have a birth certificate.
death – 11/26/1907 in New Orleans. I have a copy of the death certificate and the obit in The Times Picayune. Death certificate dated 11/26/1907 states that she was the wife of James Hawkins and that she was from Ireland.
I have a copy of the migration form for New Orleans saying birthplace is Ireland with the birth year of 1838-1839. This matches with her age of 12 years old. Does not state what the vessel name was. Not confirmed

Louis James Hawkins – possible GGGrandfather
In one family tree that I reviewed it said that Louis James Hawkins was my GGGrandfather, that he was born and died in Ireland. I have no documentation to prove or disapprove this. Don't know if this is the name for my GGGrandfather.

You haven't mentioned a critical point - their religion.

... James L Hawkins – Great Grandfather
born – 1835-1839  in Ireland, possibly Cork. Can't find a birth certificate for him
... Mary Catherine Baumy Price – Great Grandmother
born – 1/xx/1839 in Ireland. I don't have a birth certificate.  ...

You won't get birth certificates for either of them since civil registration of births in Ireland didn't start until 1864.

Possibility (for the Dublin born James Hawkins on 1860 US census) worth looking at is the one baptised 26th January 1838 in the Pro Cathedral, Dublin.

In the same time frame;
James Hawkins baptised Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford 20th April 1838 to George Hawkins and Mary Sheil
James Hawkins baptised Pro Cathedral, Dublin 27th May 1836 to John and Sarah Hawkins.

All the above are RC baptismal entry's

Married to Mary Catherine Baumy Price on 7/20/1854.

Baumy?  That isn't her name is it? It is the name of the woman her son married.

Where do you see James with a middle initial of 'L'?  What name does it stand for?

You are correct. Emma Mae Baumy married the son William Hawkins.
For their religion I can only guess. Every one of my father's family was Episcopalian so their religion maybe the Church of England.

I do remember my  father telling me that he received a letter telling him that he was the sole heir of a castle, he just had to pay the taxes. The letter was sent around 70-75 years ago

[rhawk204]

I was wrong earlier when I said that my father received a letter 70 years ago. He actually received the letter in 1980

James L Hawkins – Great Grandfather

death -  9/2/1881 in New Orleans. I have a copy of the death certificate and states he was from Ireland and I have a copy of the obit in The Times Picayune

Didn't he die in 1879?

Dundee - Thanks for the reply
For the death of James I used the death notices from the Times Picayune which shows the death as 8/2/1881. I am going to look for the death certificate for him to  try and get the accurate date for him.
I habve the documents showing that Mary was a widow.
I'm not sure what James occupation was so I will have to research that also.
