Find Ancestors

trying to find any relatives on my hawkins side of my family my grandad was frederick william hawkins born on 19/01/1915, he married my nan bertha hawkett in 1938,we come from london kent

If you are wanting to go backwards it's a good idea to have their marriage cert for fathers names

ok ill see if i can get one ,,, iv got names of brother s and sisters but nothing else

Ok . well if you post what you know it maybe we can find their births which may give mmn if born after 1911.

On his Ancestry tree, he has the marriage date as 1938 27 Aug suggesting that he has or has seen a copy.

Births Mar 1915 (>99%)
Hawkins Frederick W Martin Dartford 2a 1214

Other Hawkins/Martin births in Kent 1910-1920

Births Dec 1912 (>99%)
Hawkins Robert A Martin Strood 2a 1248 99%)

Births Dec 1920
Hawkins Dorothy E Martin Dartford 2a 1212

There are later ones which you can find on freebmd and it won't cost you anything

The Dartford registration district covers both Farningham and Swanley, which are quite close together

There only appears to be one Hawkins/Martin marriage within a suitable time frame, but it doesn't seem 'right' :-0

Marriages Mar 1905 (>99%)
HAWKINS Richard Leicester 7a 342
MARTIN Mary Leicester 7a 342

It might be worth ordering the BC as posted above for Frederick W Hawkins to see if the parent's names match at a cost of £9.25 from

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

that 1915 birth isnt showing on Ancestry which is why I wasn't finding it.

I thought Ancestry uploaded BMDs from FreeBMD so its strange it isnt there

Perhaps freebmd uploaded it the last time and Ancestry haven't caught up?

I'm not happy with the Leicester marriage, if anyone can find something more appropriate or at least find the 1911 and rule it out!

Bertha's birth isnt on FreeBMD either but these look like siblings

Births Jun 1925
Hawkett Mabel E Braund Dartford 2a 1119
Births Dec 1926 (>99%)
Hawkett Violet M Braund Dartford 2a 1024
Births Jun 1928 (>99%)
Hawkett Percy A D Braund Dartford 2a 1135


theres more up to 1946 but wont post them . you can find them on FreeBMD by searching on Hawkett and mmn Braund

We still aren't sure if where Melissa wants to go with this - Ancestors or siblings of her grandparents! She's probably gone off to find the names she does have.

:-D

That me lot till Melissa comes back !! :-D

Possibly!

Depending on what info Melissa already has, it might be best for her to purchase Frederick's BC rather than go off at a tangent.

That 1901 marriage might be on http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/ if anyone wanted to have a dig.

Where's Cynthia when you need her? :-D
