Hello there,
I have in my wife's family tree a connection which may assist in your query.
Richard Hawkins was a lodger with Elizabeth Townley the widow of Samuel Townley 1844-1884 in the 1891 census.Richard was a widower having previously been married to Jeanette ? a lady from Newport.Mon. as per the 1881 census,Jeanette died in 1886.It is noted in the 1891 census a Richard Townley aged 4.In 1892 Richard senior marries Elizabeth Townley and in the 1901 census Richard junior is recognised as Hawkins,the remainder of the Townley children remain Townley's.
My wife's connection is that William Townley was married to Alice Hart who were her Grandparents.
Elizabeth Townley was a Jenkins before she married Samuel Townley in 1879,living in Cinderford but born in Coleford to Henry Jenkins a Cordwainer/shoemaker in 1845.
