Thread: HAWKINS in Mountsorrel, England

Where did the Hawkins families located in Mountsorrel come from? I have identified family in the late 1700s. Is there a connection to the Hawkins lines in Devon?

Hawkface, I'm descended from a Hawkins family. I have my great grandparents as Harry and Ellen Hawkins but Iam not sure if Harry's parents or grandparents were from Mountsorrel. Iam having a lot of difficulty in finding anything out about Harry Hawkins parents.
My great grandparents lived in Oakford in Devon. They had a son, Charlie (my grandad) and a daughter, Phylis.
I hope this help a bit.

Sally,

My ggrandfather had a brother Robert Hawkins, who had a son Henry (Harry). Harry was b. abt 1870 in Mountsorrel. He m. Elizabeth.They had a son William, b. abt 1907.

The names are similar but we're still talking abt two different branches of the HAWKINS family. Somewhere there's a connection between Devon and Leicestershire branches.
