Hawker and Hall Family Trees

Notes

George LANE

The only George Lane of the right age that I can find in the Gloucestershire 1851 census is:

P.R.O. Reference # HO 107/1973
CHELTENHAM - Part 40 - 1851 Census
95
BROOKS Elizabeth 52 Lady Chaceley
SHIPTON Fanny Niece 18 Visitor Eldersfield
LANE George Nephew 11 Visitor Chaceley
JANNER Louisa Servant 20 Parlour Maid Oxford
BUNDY Hannah Servant 30 Cook Corse

He is shown as born in Chaceley (a link to my Hawker family?) but the 1881 census shows George Lane as born in Newent, so it may not be the same man.

Information sent by Cynthia Ben to Graham George Hawker by email on 13 March 2002 states:
"Acouple of amendments and additions if you want them.

Never married, according to information supplied by Cynthia Bean.

Joseph COOPER

Email to Graham George Hawker from Ken Holloway dated 15 July 2002:

"My Edward Cooper is the one you mentioned bapt. 23 Jan 1809, the son of Joseph Cooper and
Priscilla Harvey. I have obtained most of my information on the Coopers of Bloxwich from Pat
Hayward. According to Pat, Joseph was bapt. 12 Dec 1756 in Wednesbury, the son of Joseph
Cooper and Ann Baylies, who married 29 May 1750 at Wednesbury. There was also a Joseph,
bapt 24 Mar 1752, but I do not know where he fits in - he could possibly have died young. I
have no record of your John Cooper, b. in 1858."

Pat Hayward has pointed out that this Joseph Cooper born 1756 may in fact not be the correct man and that her findings were very tentative.
