Hi

Wondering if anyone can give me some help.

I am looking for my great grandmothers (Florence hawkins june 1895) siblings and parents.

I know her mothers name was Sarah and in all the census' she is down as married but no husband is ever present.

Siblings include
Mary c1883
John c 1885
Edward c 1887
George c1889
Annie c1891
Alice c1893
Ada c1898
Gerty c1900

Florence married William Hackman in March 1917 in Chertsey.

If anyone can help me i would be very grateful.

Thank you.

I have one like this, every census there were more children, but never saw their dads with them lol

Was he named on her marriage certificate, or do you have Florence's birth certificate

Hi Julie

No not yet.
Am going to order one though because i think that this is the only way.
Think i have just found Annie. Mother is down as Sarah hawkins and father William Fowler Hawkins and she was born in Surrey? 2 years earlier than i originally thought. This is the only one out of all with mothers name Sarah so wondering if this could be it? None of the other siblings are there so can't match?
