James Hawkes b1923

Hi,
i am doing some research for a friend and
I just wondered if anyone can look up a birth record for me.

James Hawkes born 1823 London City Bishopsgate
I would like some information on his Father William Hawkes.
Only information I have is the reference on James marriage certificate.

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921 about James Hawkes
Name: James Hawkes
Age: Full Age
Estimated birth year: abt 1848
Spouse Name: Caroline Guinn
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 18 Jun 1848
Parish: St John the Baptist, Hoxton
County: Middlesex
Borough: Hackney
Father Name: William Hawkes
Spouse Father Name: William Guinn

Kind regards
Eric

On the marriage cert William was 'deceased'

Occupation said to have been 'Painter'

The baptism of the son wouldn't tell you any more about the father, unfortunately.

However, it doesn't appear to be on Ancestry...........

Reggie,
Many Thanks
Eric

Tree on ancestry has this:-

James Hawkes
Birth: Abt 1821 - London, London, England
Marriage: 18 Jun 1848 - St John

Catherine,
Wow thanks :-)
Eric

.........................this would fit with the info on ancestry tree:-

Name:William Hawkes
Spouse Name:Mary Harvey
Record Type:Banns
Event Date:11 Oct 1812
Parish:Stepney St Dunstan and All Saints
Borough:Tower Hamlets
Register Type:Parish Register

...maybe worth keeping just in case?

Catherine,
That's Great Thank you
Eric

Oh,good job,Catherine!

Have a look at this marriage then:
London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921 about Mary Ann Hawkes

Spouse Name: James Mason
Spouse Age: Full Age
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 11 May 1840

I wonder if it's the mother re-marrying? One of the witnesses (Elizabeth Wright???) seems to be the same as on James and Caroline's marriage.

If 1841 is the family, then this looks to be brother John's marriage:-


London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921 about John Hawkes

Name:John Hawkes
Age:23
Estimated Birth Year:abt 1829
Occupation:- Ginger Beer Maker
Spouse Name:Sarah Sealey

Parish:Bethnal Green St Philip
Borough:Tower Hamlets
Father Name:William Hawkes
occupation:- Umbrella Maker
Spouse Father Name:Jacob Sealey

Witnesses:- George Bradley
xxxx Elizabeth Wright xxxx

Problem is, father is William Hawkes, but he is an umbrella maker and is not noted as deceased?

Drives you crazy! On Abraham's marriage William is a mariner!

Ah Ah!!
I was beginning to think that she was a professional witness employed by the registry office.
We know why John became a Ginger Beer Maker now.
Once again Maureen comes up trumps. :-D

Catherine,Maureen,
Thats lots of information to sieve through
it will keep be busy for awhile :-)
Thank you
Eric

I'll go do those dishes now........ :-( :-(
