Find Ancestors

I am trying to find the birth of Betsey Jane Hawker i think in Montacute Somerset born about 1857her father was David Hawker born cannot find anywhere Thnaks Rose Pippard

Rose, As you probably know, Montacute is covered by Yeovil, so this lot are most likely related. Births Jun 1852 Hawker James Yeovil 5c 548 Births Mar 1853 Hawker Henry Thomas Yeovil 5c 558 Births Jun 1859 Hawker Evis Yeovil 5c 548 Births Mar 1860 HAWKER Emily Eliza Yeovil 5c 571 Interestingly there is a David HAWKE living in Montacute in the 1881 census. Mis-translation? Its a possibility to consider: Betsey would have upped and married by then most likely (aged 24) David HAWKE Head M Male 60 Pen Domer, Somerset, England Farm Labourer Susan HAWKE Wife M Female 57 Odcombe, Somerset, England Glover William HAWKE Son Male 13 Montacute, Somerset, England Labourer Kate HAWKE Daug Female 10 Montacute, Somerset, England Scholar address Bishopstown, Montacute, Somerset. This at least gives access to Montacute by moving backwards and forwards through households in the 1881 census!

Is this David?? christened 24 SEP 1832 Elmley Castle, Worcester, England father robert hawker, mother sarah

Thanks Yes Betsey actually married Walter Pippard 29 8 1876 so the David Hawker you found could be her father. Do not know where David originated so heres to more hunting Rose Pippard

Rosemary Had a look on the 1851 census for Somerset and found James Hawker 55 born Eveshot ag lab Susan 47 born Hardington David 25 born Pendomer They are together so it looks like his parents. They are living in Brimpton Somerset. Hope you have some luck finding his marriage. Irene

Thanks Irene that David looks a possibilty Rosie
