Mary Polly (Hawkins) King Whitlock (General)

I found an additional memorial inscription on the family gravestone for John and Eliza Hawkins, for Rachel King, d.Feb. 18, 1933, age 15. (Christchurch)

My problem is, I don't know to whom Rachel "belonged". John and Eliza had a daughter, Mary A. "Polly" b,1868. Mary first married Thomas(?) King and later George Thomas Whitlock in 1896. At age 50, I think she would have been too old to be Rachel's mother!

Would SKS PLEASE check the 1891 Census (probably West Dean) and see if Mary King age abt 23 is listed? I think Mr King died shortly after they were married, in 1889. Are there any children, listed with her, with the last name of King ?

As always...THANKS!
