James Hawkins

Birth: 7 January 1801

Baptism: 11 January 1801, in Drinkstone, Suffolk, England. There is a note that this was a public baptism.

Father: James Hawkins

Mother: Honour (Gooch) Hawkins

Children: Notes: James was almost certainly the father of his cousin Honour Robinson's child, Charles. In the 1841 census, shortly after Charles's birth, we find James, Honour and Charles all living in the household of James's father, also James. Honour is listed as a servant. In the 1851 census, however, we see Honour listed as the elder James's unmarried niece (which she was - her mother was the sister of James the elder's wife - any relationship with James the younger notwithstanding), and Charles Robinson is listed as the grandson of James the elder. In the will of James the elder who died in 1859, a third of his estate was left to Honour Robinson, and two thirds to Charles Robinson, further reinforcing that Charles Robinson was the grandson of James Hawkins the elder, although this is not stated in the will.

Mother: Mary (Wright) Hawkins

Buried: 4 February 1797, in Drinkstone, Suffolk, England, aged 10 days. A note is made that John was "brought from Wetherden and buried". The baptismal record for John is a little confusing, showing him baptised in Drinkstone the same day he was buried. If the baptismal record is correct, John was either brought to Drinkstone extremely ill, was baptised and then died and was buried all the same day, or the baby was baptised when already dead, or the baptism was simply registered without having been performed.

Mother: Maria (Clarke) Hawkins

Married: Richard Webber Tyzack on 9 January 1844 in Spitalfields Church of Christ, Stepney, Middlesex, England. The marriage was witnessed by Edward John Elener and Susannah Lucking.

Children: Death: 19 February 1899, in Durban, Natal

Notes: Alan Hattersley notes in The British Settlement of Natal that Louisa "had lived for some years in the United States and Newfoundland." (pg 164). This must have been before her marriage to Richard, since after emigrating to Natal, they never left it.

Louisa emigrated from London, England on 9 January 1850 to Durban (then Port Natal), Natal on the Edward (passenger list), arriving 2 May 1850. She traveled with her husband and three children, and was carrying her fourth child who was born shortly after their arrival in Port Natal.

Obituary:
Dated 20 February 1899, probably in the Natal Mercury:

Death of an old Colonist It is with much regret we have this morning to announce the death of Mrs. R. W. Tyzack, which took place yesterday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs Foaden, St. George's Street, where she was residing. The widow of the late R.W. Tyzack, whom she has not long survived, Mrs. Tyzack was known and beloved by a large number of the older Colonists. Arriving with her husband over 40 years ago, she shared with him in the early Colonial vicissitudes, and has seen the growth of Durban from a heap of sand dunes and bush to its present flourishing and busy state. Like her respected husband, she was exceedingly active, and spared not herself for the benefit of others. Even strangers were early impressed with her kindly disposition and sterling character, and many have cause to remember her helping hand. Reaching the ripe old age of 80 years, she was active almost up to the last. Only about a week ago her energies were interrupted by an accident in her own room, which gave her such a shock, and caused such acute pain, that the worst results were early feared. A day or two ago she lost consciousness, but had pleasant intervals when she was able to recognise her children, all of whom, excepting one in a distant part of South Africa, were able to see their revered mother before the end. She leaves four sons, three daughters, and numerous grandchildren to mourn their loss. The deceased was an esteemed member of the Smith Street Congregational Church, of which she was one of the founders, her husband and the late Mr. P. Lennox being two of the others last removed. The funeral takes place this afternoon.

Funeral Notice:
Dated 20 February 1899, probably in the Natal Mercury:

NOTICE THE FUNERAL of the late LOUISA TYZACK (relict of the late R. W. Tyzack), will take place THIS AFTERNOON, leaving the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. A. H. Foaden, 116 St. George's Street, at 4.30 o'clock.
Friends are kindly invited to attend.

Thomas Cooper Hawkins

Baptised: 15 March or May 1769, in Drinkstone, Suffolk, England

Father: Thomas Hawkins

Mother: Elizabeth (Gooch) Hawkins

Notes: John Nichol has the baptism date as 15 March, Pauline Biggs as 15 May.

Thomas is not mentioned in he will of his father in June 1814, and had likely died before this date.

Sources:

Thomas Fenton Hawkins

Baptism: 11 January 1789, in Drinkstone, Suffolk, England

Mother: Mary Hawkins

Married (1st): Maria Clarke on 3 November 1808, in Tostock, Suffolk, England. The marriage was witnessed by John Waird and William Borley. Thomas is recorded as single, of Drinkstone.

Children: Married (2nd): Elizabeth. Elizabeth was born 1787/8, in Herringswell, Suffolk.

Married (3rd): Ann. Ann was born in 1806/7, in East Malling, Kent.

Occupation: Builder / Carpenter

Death: 1872, in Malling district, Kent, England, aged 83

Notes:
Thomas was an illigitimate child.

In the will of his grandfather, also Thomas Hawkins, the grandfather bequeaths ten pounds to his grandson, Thomas Hawkins, in addition to the equal family share bequeathed to this Thomas's mother, Mary (Hawkins) Callas. He is named as "Thomas Hawkins of Wetherden" in the 1814 will, which tallies with the baptism of Eliza in Wetherden in 1814.

Census:
1851: 6 Berner Road, Middlesex (Berner Road, later notorious as the scene of one of the Jack the Ripper murders, has been renamed Henriques Street)
1861: Brook Fields, West Malling, Kent
1871: Swan Street, West Malling, Kent

Thomas Hawkins

Baptised: 21 January 1797, in Wetherden, Suffolk, England

Father: John Gibson Hawkins

Mother: Mary (Wright) Hawkins

Notes: Thomas was baptised just four days before the birth of his younger brother, John.

In the will of his grandfather, also Thomas Hawkins, the grandfather bequeaths ten pounds to two of his grandsons, both named Thomas Hawkins. One of them is designated Thomas Hawkins of Hadleigh, and the other Thomas Hawkins of Wetherden. We know of two Thomas Hawkins grandsons alive at the time the will was written - this Thomas and Thomas Fenton Hawkins, the son of Mary Hawkins. We also know that Thomas Fenton Hawkins was living in Wetherden at the time (11 days after the will was written, Thomas Fenton Hawkins baptised his third child in Wetherden), so I conclude that likely this Thomas Hawkins, son of John Gibson Hawkins, was living in Hadleigh, Suffolk, in 1814.

William Hawkins

Baptised: 14 November 1770, in Drinkstone, Suffolk, England

Father: Thomas Hawkins

Mother: Elizabeth (Gooch) Hawkins

Notes: A William Hawkins is mentioned in the will of Thomas Hawkins "my Son William Hawkins now or late of Hadleigh in Essex". In Pauline Biggs' transciption of the parish records she has William's parents as "William Hawkins and Elizabeth". Since we have no other record of an elder William, and the younger William fits in with the rest of Thomas Hawkins and Elizabeth's family, I conclude that this is in error (either in the original record or in Pauline's transcription).

Based on Thomas's will written in June 1814, William was then living in Hadleigh, Essex. Curiously, William was explicitly bequeathed Thomas's bed, the only piece of furniture that was specifically designated, and odd since William was living so far away.
