Hi again Sheila,
I've just been searching for William on LDS and wonder if the following leads are worth further investigation ?. As you know there are a lot of William Hawkins to consider and even William Henry Hawkins, so it's a puzzle, but I have tried to be specific based on his birth year to narrow things down.
Hopefully your FindMyPast access will help sort these "possibles" very quickly.

William N Hawkins, "England and Wales Census, 1901"
Name: William N Hawkins
Event Type: Census
Event Date: 31 Mar 1901
Gender:
Age: 16
Relationship to Head of Household: Brother
Birthplace: Lydney, Gloucestershire
Schedule Type: Household
Registration District: Monmouth
Sub-District: Coleford
Ecclesiastical Parish: All Saints Viney Hill
Civil Parish: West Dean (Gloucs)
District/Parish/County: Monmouthshire

Could this "N" be a misheard "Hen" ??. Or is it just a transcript error. The age and particularly location fits ?... is this the same William as per your 1901 Census records ?, sorry I cannot find rest of the household.

I know FindMyPast has some good Army Records, I wonder if these men bear further checking ?

William Henry Hawkins, "United Kingdom, Militia Service Records, 1806-1915"
Name: William Henry Hawkins
Event Type: Military Service
Event Year Range: 1806-1915
Event Place: United Kingdom
Birthplace: Gloucester
Birth Year (Estimated): 1887

William Hawkins, "United Kingdom, Chelsea Pensioners' Service Records, 1760-1913"
Name: William Hawkins
Event Type: Pension
Event Year Range: 1760-1913
Event Place: United Kingdom
Birthplace: Monmouthshire
Birth Year (Estimated): 1885

I do hope this helps clear rather than cloud your search - I thought I had problems searching out my William Jones in the multitude, but it seems we both have a huge choice to work thro !. Ah well its good to be busy...

All the very best !
