Heartfelt greetings to the new list-owner. Thank you very much for your personal details - it certainly makes us outsiders feel part of the Hawkesbury family. My own association with Hawkesbury is through the STAFFORD family and already much information has been provided by your "listers". Robert STAFFORD was born about 1797, parents William & Mary. Would love to receive verification. Mary Ann THOMPSON born circa 1798, parents Robert & Hester (GOLDING). Again, seeking verification please. This couple married 27 August 1820 and had the following children : Thomas b.c.1821 who later married Hannah HATTAWAY on 4 April 1843; Robert b.c.1821 later married Mary Ann JONES and family moved to Glamorgan and Breconshire where I have full details of them - they connect to my family line through marriage. Were Thomas & Robert twins or do I have birth years wrongly estimated? Two other children : Lot b.c.1828 who died July 1864 aged 36 - would have thought I could have found more info with such a forename!; Eliza b.c.1831 who later married Samuel THOMPSON who I have found as Baker & Grocer in the Main Street Hawkesbury in the 1891 census. Is anyone interested in the above family? Would love to make contact if there is. I do have a little bit more info to divulge .... later! Leslie Shephard Falcon, Mandurah, Western Australia.

Hello Leslie, thought I should tell you that I an going away in the morning for about a week down to Dorset, but will contact you when I get back if you still require any information regarding the Staffords - let me know.
