Edward Hawkins origin?

[Taylor94]

Hi
I'm looking for the origin of my 5th grt grandfather Edward Hawkins.
I have Edward Possibly marrying Sarah Bull 10 Apr 1803 Leicester.
Edward dies Nov 1826 Lutterworth and this is listed on his burial 'Found dead on Leicester Road. Lived in Leicester, From Newton' I'm assuming Newton is meaning Newton Harcourt? I can see no record of an Edward Hawkins anywhere, If he married at say 20 his birthdate might be abt 1783 but I'm not sure.

Do you think there might be a newspaper report of his death / coroners report that might help?

I have looked at Newspaper archives, but couldn't see anything myself. Of course hopefully I was looking in the right places. How would I go about a Coroners report?
I would have thought there might have been something as he is found dead by the side of the road.
Giving him as from 'Newton Parish'
There is this  -
Edward Hawkins bapt 25 Mar 1778 Newton St Cyres, Devon but I feel this possibly could be the Edward Hawkins who marries Sarah Steacy 28 Mar 1816 Exeter, Devon as Newton St Cyres is only 5.5 miles away from Exeter...
There doesn't seem to be any Hawkins baptising in the Harborough Area around the time of Edwards possible birth.

Hello
His burial does give an age of 43 so born 1783.
Also-Lived at Leicester.His parish Newton.

There is a Newton one mile from Clifton upon Dunsmore
Edward Hawkins 3.10.1780 s of Joseph and Elizabeth Hawkins

Other children Joseph 21.10.1773 of Newton -10.12.1794, Elizabeth 17.3.1776 ,Thomas 31.5.1778,William 3.10.1780- 18.3.1782,Mary 9.3.1783 of Newton,Mary 12.11.1786,William 2.11.1788.

Joseph buried 16.12.1805 of Newton
Elizabeth w of Joseph buried 8.6.1794.

They all seem to be transcribed as Howkins for some reason.

The couple married in Leicestershire at Gilmorton 14.4.1771 by licence(married 15th)
Joseph Hawkins  21 or over  grazier of Newton  Warwickshire bach and elizabeth Tongue spinster of Gilmorton 21
The licence mentions Thomas Tongue labourer.

wit Robert Burdett and George? ?ath

A Will for Thomas Howkins 1798 mentions his brother Joseph and Joseph's children Edward and Elizabeth.Brother Edward and sister Sarah Meacham.
Thomas Howkins 1784 admin granted to widow Sarah and Joseph and Edward Hawkins of Newton yeoman.(£2000?)
Sarah 1791 widow Admin granted to Joseph Edward and Thomas her sons <£300
Edward Hawkins 1817 -children Elizabeth, Mary and Thomas.

So I'd go with Joseph s of Thomas and Sarah Hawkins  of Newton  27 Dec 1745 rather than to Humphrey Allen and Sarah his wife 30.8.1747 which seems to be misindexed and should be Joseph Allen.

What do you think?

Thank you very much Ciderdrinker, I think you may have well cracked it.
Everything seems to fit Nicely especially the Newton origin which is listed on the burial of Edward.
This has been a brickwall for awhile so glad to have it Knocked down, I must have overlooked it as I think i searched in Warwickshire awhile ago buy hey ho.
Thanks Again
