Thread: Summers

Hiya. I'm trying to find out about my great-granny Ellen Summers. She must've been bor around about the late 1800's or the very early 1900's. She lived in Oakford in Devon with my great grandfather Harry Hawkins.

Any help would be wonderful. Thanks.

I think this might be the right marriage -

4/1913 Tiverton 5b 895 spouse name Henry Hawkins

Gillian

Nanna, thank you so much for all of that. I do have that info already, but I have James Summers wife as Mary. And I think Ellen's family still run Upcott Farm.

The marriage for Ellen is wrong though, but thank you anyway for looking all of that up.

Ellen Summers married Henry Hawkins in 1913.

Thanks again.

P.S. Thanks also to Gillian for the help!
