Hello Steven and welcome to FTF.

I wonder if this might be better on Research???? I'm sure someone can move it for you.

Do you have James on any census???

Some of my lot were Primitive Methodists (not clergy, just members) in Devon and were actually descended from Sir John Hawkins.

How we have gone downhill since then....lol

What is it you are looking for???

Hi Chieftain, and Welcome - I expect this will be moved but I will make a start on the census:

1881 Census

Tregenna Terrace St Ives

Emily F. 10 Cornwall St Austell

Poor woman when he died - such a lot of children to care for.

I've moved this thread from the General board to Research Qs & As.

Have you tried the local authority cemetery for his burial?

Someone else is interested in them:

Another link for you, someone researching the Tuffin side of the family:

RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: The Tuffins (plus many others) of Dorset, England (& Elsewhere!)

" ii. Ann TUFFIN was born MAR 1843 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. She married James HAWKINS 16 MAR 1864 in Primitive Methodist Chapel, Radstock, District of Clutton, Shropshire, England, son of George HAWKINS. He was born ABT 1835 in Viney Hill, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, and died 31 JUL 1885 in 4, Albert Terrace, Fort Royal Hill, Worcester. "

You should be able to get quite far back on the Tuffin line, but you need to double-check their information!

[Elizabeth Herts]

I think it would be a good investment to buy the marriage certificate for James Hawkins and Ann Tuffin.

James Hawkins and Ann Tuffin
J/F/M quarter 1864
Clutton (Somerset - not Shropshire as on the Tuffin link)

[Mary from Italy]

I've found a potted biography of James on Google book search, which shows small snippets from books and magazines:

"james hawkins" - Google Book Search

(click on the title to see an extract from the book).

The book this excerpt comes from is called:

Bibliotheca Cornubiensis: Comprising a supplementary catalogue of authors, lists of Acts of Parliament and Civil war tracts, &c., and an index to the contents of the 3 vols
By George Clement Boase, William Prideaux Courtney
Published by Longmans, Green, Reader and Dyer, 1882


and you may be able to order it from your local library.
