"I know nothing further of George Hawker other than he was supposed to be the
father of my Solomon Hawker.
married Elizabeth Quarrell from Cricklade, Wilts in 1841 and came to
Australia in 1857.
His children were
Pearson,
Elizabeth,
Percival
David
William
Ann
Esther
Caroline
Albert
Andrew
Adeline.
Fairly distinctive names! He was a stonemason but farmed upon arriving in
Aus. The last 4 children were born in Australia. 3 of the children had died
before leaving Gloucs. Times must have been hard."2Internet, Posting to RootsWeb Hawker board, 30 Jul 2001.
"George Hawker (stonemason) was the father of Solomon Hawker b 1817 Cleeve Hill, GLCS. My gg grandfather. I believe Lydia Hawker b 1832 is Solomon's sister, she came to Australia on the same ship. I presume their mother (Ann Harper?) died and George remarried Eliza (b 1805, Prescott) and had further children, Ellen 1839, Eli 1841,Daniel 1844 and Eliza in 1845 all born in Southam, GLCS."

As an amateur historian currently working on a history of the Brecon &
"Dear Graham Hawker,
Abergavenny Canal in South Wales I am always on the lookout for information
on the Dadford family of canal engineers. Periodically I surf the net,
usually without finding anything new. However, today, to my delight I
discovered your Hawker-Rock ... web pages, with the mention of Mary
Dadford. You may be interested to know (and my apologies if you know already) that
you appear to be the great great great great great great grandson of Mary's
father Thomas Dadford Senior, who with his sons did great works in the
Midlands and South Wales. The sons all died, or emigrated to America and died, all apparently without
issue and Mary seems to have been the sole beneficiary under Thomas� will,
of which I have a copy. Mary and Joseph Rock's children have much the christian names I would
expect to see. However, I am surprised there is no Thomas. Also, I have a
note of another child, Frances (Mary's mother's christian name), born in
1809 and baptised at Bloxwich. I can't vouch for the accuracy of this
information. If you would like to know more please get in touch. John Norris."
