Hi Listers I am new to this list and wonder if anyone out there has an interest in the following family. Thomas HAWKES and Rebecca BATES were married at Berkhamsted 6 Nov 1762, witnesses were Thos. WILKINSON and John BIRO.  Thomas and Rebecca had the following children - Robert b 1763, Rebecca b 1765, Hannah b 1768, Joseph b 1770, Mary 1772 and 1781, Rachel b 1781 d 1864, all born Berkhamsted.  Rachel married Joseph WALLIS at Lewisham, Kent, in 1805. Would appreciate any help in finding out more about this family. Noel in Australia Start at the new Yahoo!7 for a better online experience. www.yahoo7.com.au
