Trying to find William Hawkey in 1841 (born c1823 Bishopwearmouth/Cleadon/Boldon)
I've just ordered his marriage certificate so at the moment I don't have his parents details until it arrives
-
Hi I wonder if he is the William HAWKY baptised 15th September 1824 St Michael, Bishopwearmouth Father Foster Mother Dorothy?

Had Forster and Dorothy as a possibility (will be confirmed when i receive marriage certificate) thanks for the baptism info
If they are his parents Dorothy died c1829, Forster remarried 1835?
Have found Forster in 1841 and 1851.
-
OK other baptisms Elizabeth 1814 and Thomas 1816 both Monkwearmouth

He possibly married 3 times?
Dorothy Clark 24th June 1804
Elizabeth Reay 18th January 1835

1841 with wife Elizabeth (fits with Elizabeth Reay marriage as children living with them with surname Reay)
-

Looks like Forster Hawkey jr died at sea in 1852 :(
Like brother William (my original query) i can't find him in 1841 (wonder if its anything to do with the ships)
-
The 1824 William Hawky baptism (Forster + Dorothy) at Bishopwearmouth, I believe it's indexed on Durham Records Online (district Sunderland), and abode is given as Pans.
Then there is a burial indexed in 1825 of William Hawkey, age 1, abode Panns.
That is also on FamilySearch. At Bishopwearmouth, 25 Dec 1825.

Married at Brancepeth in 1844? GRO index has William as Whakey.
-
That's correct regarding marriage certificate - I'll have to wait for it to arrive to confirm father's name.
-
There are BTs for Brancepeth are online, but they don't seem to have continued sending in transcripts of marriages after 1842. Annoying!
There's a Mary Whitehead in Brancepeth in 1841. Looks like she is 20, female servant. Not a great census image, taken from microfilm, not the worst but faint enough on findmypast. Ancestry have actually filmed the enumerator's book and it is a lot better, but they seem to have missed out pages 3 and 4, including Mary!
-
Nothings ever straight forward! Thankyou for your help :)
-
:) OK still looking for records for him, was he the on FindMyPast the William HAWKWAY aged 47 with wife Mary aged 50 and family in 1871 Auckland a Benjamin aged 4 in 1871 appears as Nephew in 1881 with a widowed Mary.as HANKY
1871 ref RG10/4933/98/60
1881 ref RG11/4928/32/57
1861 ref RG09/3729/18/30
1851 ref HO107/2386/225/11

PS he is a Coal miner.
-
Thanks keyboard all the information you have given is correct - I'm trying to find him in 1841
1851 as Harkey
1861 as Ackey
1871 as Hawkway (William died 1878)
1881 as Hanky
1891 as Hacking (wife Mary died 1897)
quite a selection
-
:) I"m now pretty certain he was not the son of Forster?
I think the marriage cert is the correct way to go.

I have William and Mary's children as:
Margaret
Mary
William
Isabella
Robert
John
Hannah
Benjamin
so.....I'm predicting the parents of William and Mary to be called Robert, John, Margaret, Hannah ;D

Panns area as indicated on the Internet.
Panns was an area of Sunderland on the south bank of the river at the top of Low St. which had once been used for salt panning. Just to the east of the road bridge. In the 1700s, this stretch of bank was home for block yards, glass works & Molly Linton's Quay from which Pann's ferry ran across to the north bank.

Update : marriage certificate has arrived
William Hawkey (labourer) - Park House
Father is John Hawkey (labourer)
Mary Whitehead - Crook

(John and Robert I knew it ☺)
I've found John and wife Margaret 😉 in 1841, 1851, 1861 Slaley, Northumberland
-
Great news, thanks for letting us know.
John Hawkey born Monkwearmouth, and in 1861 it says that Mary, daughter of William + Mary, was born in Slaley.
The clues were there!

William is my 3gt grandfather. I haven’t found him on the 1841 census either!
Father John Hawkey, mother Margaret Cook. They married Tynemouth 1823 - he was a widower at that stage but I can’t find first marriage. They are in 1841 census in Slaley where he was a hawker of wares. John was the posthumous son of Thomas Hawkey, a keelman, and Mary Foster.
Mary Whitehead is the daughter Of Robert Whitehead and Margaret Taylor.
My ancestor is William and Mary’s daughter Mary who married Robert Wood producing my gt grandmother Margaret Ann Wood.
Sorry I’ve only just seen this I could have saved you the cost of the mc!
-
Hi William is also my ggg grandad and his daughter Mary is also my gg grandma - Margaret Ann's brother Robert is my g grandad.
Thankyou for the extra information - I would have bought William and Mary's marriage certificate eventually :)
