Zoe, Another thing to consider. James may have been told his father had died ..... but Dad could have still been alive. Maybe Dad left Mum and this was a common explanation back in them days. I really would exhaust ALL possible theories before your engage the help of an 'expert' !!! (which will cost you an arm and a leg) I would spend £7 on that Death cert that Kate mentioned above ... got to be worth it for ellimination purposes surely ? I am still looking for a possible BIRTH for Henry Andrew Hawkins .....!!! Elaine ;-) |

Hi Kate, I have looked through burials on that site around 1882 - 1885. I didn't order the death cert for him because he had a child on the census born same year and never had any trace of a James either. I am wondering if these could be James and he wasn't even called that. My Grandfather was called Christopher but everyone called him either Charlie or Peter ? So I suppose its a possibility. Regards Zoe |

1851 census: living Woolwich Kent MAYBE this is where the Kent connection comes from ????I have a feeling that this is the Henry Andrew who's death Kate has found..... Henry Hawkins abt 1803 London, Middlesex, England Head Ellen Hawkins abt 1807 Shadwell, Middlesex, England Wife Henry A Hawkins abt 1835 Kingston, Middlesex, England Son |

Soz, but I don't really understand what you mean about the death cert. How do you know it is the person you have found on the census? Kate. |

Hi Elaine & Kate, Sorry Kate, What I was maning to say is I have followed this same person through census years and I don't think he is th eone as he never had a child living with him under the name of James. Maybe it is the right one I don't know anymore. Many many many thanks for all your help and I will keep trying. I am not kidding I bet I have been looking for 6 hours today on all poss parish reg on-line. Zoe |

Elaine suggested Scotland (and Ireland) as possibilities that might have to be considered. Lots of Hawkins in Scotland. Did you follow up on that? Denis. |

Zoe Best place to start is perhaps the Scotlands People website. Very easy to use. Best of luck. Denis. |
