Given the Wintle / Teague connection its quite possible she is more than a family friend, although at the time perhaps no one realised she "was" a distant cousin - Its a small world after all :-)

The following are part of "my lot", and so far I have found no connection between the two families.
Richard Hawkins (head) son of Richard Hawkins b. 1800 and grandson of Thomas Hawkins b. 1766. Fanny Hawkins (nee' Hawkins... wife) daughter of James Hawkins b. 1812 and grand-daughter of Thomas Hawkins b. 1766. :(

I think this is your group in 1851 in Staunton Parish

which I suspect means they are at Coal Pit Hill , a very small hamlet between Staunton and Christchurch / Berry Hill
( Coalpit Heath is over the River Severn near Bristol)

Slowhands,
Thank you so much for your help.
I have been trying to find out about our english relatives
since I was a boy. I have an old postcard of the Clock tower in
coleford, a pocketwatch that belonged to Thomas Hawkins,
(with the original bill of sale!)
and grew up listening to stories ...My GGGGrandfather was Thomas Hawkins.
My GGGrandfather was Marcus Hawkins (typo Morkins)
All I knew is they were coal miners from Coleford...Now look how far we have come!
Your information brought a tear to my eye! I wish my Grandfather was
still around for me to share the info with.
I hope to visit one day, I can't wait to see the Forest, and all the places
I have read about.Maybe I'll catch the Coleford Festival!
Any Ideas on which way to go to find James Hawkins Parents?

Again Thanks a million!

Brian K.Hawkins

No problem - enjoy digesting this lot !

I had hoped that James would show with a family member in 1841 , alas he appears to be living alone....

We do have Church records , that may resolve this , I'll check a few other sources. and you may be lucky, another "helper" may read this and post the answer...

Slowhands,

I was re-reading some older posts, and saw your offer of a photo of The Lonk.
How did I miss that earlier? Yes, Please! Many thanks...and as always, thanks for your generous assistance to the members of this site!!

Hi there,

I am the great grandaughter of Jane Hawkins she is listed by you as a near neighbour. I have only just started researching this side of my family tree, so any information I have is limited. Jane went on to marry Christopher Wale, they had 11 children one of them being my grandfather.

Regards Sylvia Webb

"Your/our" Jane Hawkins was the daughter of Richard and Fanny Hawkins. So far I can find no Teague connections. I have considerable info about this family, I can share. Please contact me off board if you're interested!
