The Ipswich Journal 25 June 1748 mentions Richard Hawkins, re an estate
The Ipswich Journal 29 June 1765, died Friday in London Richard Hawkins merchant of Lynn.

Thanks very much!!

The records I have access to online only start in 1750 so can't help with the first one.

Re. the second - is really just a snippet and simply says:

'Last Friday died in London, Mr. Richard Hawkins, a Merchant at Lynn.'

That's it!

Hi Annette
Thanks very much anyway!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find out more about that death??

The only match I have found so far is a burial on 26 June 1765 in Bermondsey Surrey (under the Southwark parish) for a Richard Hawkins. It says he was 76 years old and from 'the wall'. No mention of him being from Lynn.

Are there any other likely burials anyone else can find- or anything more about this one in Bermondsey?
Thanks!

THanks very much Amondg
I wonder what Mary Browne's connection to Richard was...perhaps she was his sister? Or a relation of his wife Mary Abel??

Do you take this article to mean only she is bankrupt? Or that she is deceased?? Just thinking perhaps a will would shed more light on her connection to Richard....since there doesn't appear to be a will for Richard himself.

I wonder when Mary Browne merchant of Lynn died. Will have a look for a will/death.

Thanks again
Kylie

I take it to mean she is bankrupt.
If she was widowed in her 40's she may have remarried.
