I have a William Hawkins born Hayling 1837, in the navy and his wife Amelia born c.1838 Isle of Wight. They were probably living in Gosport Alverstoke where they married and had their children. Thank you if anyone can find them in the 1861 or in the 1871. I don't know of any children except a dau. born in 1872. That would be a great find. Thank you again Shannon

I found a William G. Hawkins in 1871 in the navy in Hampshire and he is listed as married - do you want a copy of the census? > From: CALLADINEB@aol.com > Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:17:20 -0400 > To: eng-ham-portsmouth-gosport@rootsweb.com > Subject: [PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT] possible 1861 or 1871 census look up please? > > I have a William Hawkins born Hayling 1837, in the navy and his wife Amelia > born c.1838 Isle of Wight. > They were probably living in Gosport Alverstoke where they married and had > their children. > > Thank you if anyone can find them in the 1861 or in the 1871.

There is a household in the 1871 Census which comprises William Hawkins (something Mariner - can't read first word), Amelia Hawkins his wife, George Williams a visitor, John W Osborne a nephew, William J Hawkins (5) a son and Amelia E Hawkins a daughter (2) He is listed as being born in Ireland in abt 1835 and her in Isle of Wight in about 1837. The Ancestry transcription is appalling and they are listed as Willa and Amelia Hawkin, Wilen J Haustein and Amelia Hawstein. The reference is RG10/1150/74/11. I can send you the image if you think this might be them. Do you know when they were married and/or what Amelia's maiden name was? -- Jenny M Benson
