No problem Sheila, thats good research insofar as one "possible" is ruled out.
Yes William Henry was a popular nameset in the area in those days, I've seen plenty in my Jones researches, grr ;-)

Your earlier post mentions your checking Monmouthshire Parish Registers. Are these available online without subscribing to Ancestry etc, if so where please ?
Thanks a lot, J.

Altho it could be Kate Hendy, perhaps this is more probably the same Kate/Katherine (Hawkins) that appears in the 1901 & 1911 family Census as William's sister, but maybe not just that in later years ?.

In general, when I searched the FoD Hawkins PRs earlier Viney Hill Chapel appeared regularly in my findings, eg William Henry Hawkins b1884 of Yorkley parents James & Sarah.
Coincidence or ??. I suggest you search all Hawkins PRs for Viney Hill abt then for more possible similarities.
