Occupation: Inland Revenue

record of his son Joshua does say he is the "Son of Mr. and Mrs. George

James Hawkins
Birth: in Drinkstone, Suffolk. James's age
at death would give his
birth as early as 1769 or 1770, but the baptism record does not show
that he was not baptised as an infant. James's age at the 1851 census
would put his birth at 1771 or 1772.
Baptised: 11 April
1773, in Drinkstone, Suffolk,

Occupation:
Carpenter. In 1814, James was
bequeathed by his

Notes: James was
almost certainly the father of his

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 James's will,
a third of his estate was left to
Honour Robinson ("my housekeeper"), and two thirds to Charles Robinson,
further
reinforcing that Charles Robinson was his son, although this is
not stated in the will.

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.

Tyzack on
9 January 1844 in Spitalfields Church of Christ, Stepney, Middlesex,
England. The marriage was witnessed by Edward John Elener and Susannah
Lucking. Richard is recorded as a General Postman, of full age, of 5
Charles Street, the son of a hairdresser. Louisa is recorded as being
of full age, of 5 Charles Street, the daughter of a builder.
Notes: Alan
Hattersley notes in The
British Settlement of Natal that Louisa "an Ipswich woman, had
lived for some
years in the United States and Newfoundland." (pg 164). If correct,
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:
NOTICETHE 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.

Thomas Hawkins
Baptised: 21 January
1797, in Wetherden,
Suffolk, England
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.

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.
