Thomas HAWKINS 1857 Old Engine / Lydbrook - prior thread (General)
"Slowhands", your theory is as good as any, but why on earth would anyone declare their grandkids as nephews? If, as I suspect, you are assuming these are Frank's kids, what would be the point of hiding the fact? I'm only asking, as I just can't figure out the mentality, or the advantage, of doing that. I do hope that you will continue to assist me in my research, Slowhands. To date, you are the only one to have tried.
Anyone reading this, if you are descended from this branch of Clan Hawkins, or know someone who is, please do let me know. Handed down stories, scandalous or otherwise, would be much appreciated. Surely someone down there has a story to tell. I promise I'm unshockable. So, thinking caps on, please.
Regards
Stephen Hawkins
