Not having much luck with this request.
The best bet for Henry HAWKINS in 1861 living with his widowed mother , Eleanor, born Seaford, Sussex. 
He's 26, a pawnbroker's assistant born Kingsland, Middx
brother James 13 born Stepney
sister Elizabeth 17 born Stepney
Living 54 & 55 Woolwich Rd Woolwich
GR9/405 folio 82 page 54

Do you know who James married as this might help track in down in later census?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, James married in 1917 aged 46 in Sheffield. This is correct because his grave stone says died 1948 aged 77 years. He married a Rosa Twyman in Sheffield it says he is a bachelor.
Kind regards
Zoe
