Kent Lookup Requests / Re: help please, Henry Andrew Hawkins
« on: Wednesday 11 October 06 00:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Just realised there is a reply from ages ago. Sorry I should be good by now. I do have a marriage cert for James and that is where it says his fathers name and that he was deceased Engine driver. Before I had this though my Nan said James father died in a Train crash. He was a lot older than Rosa Twyman his wife when they married.
Any ideas would be amazing.
I really do not understand this at all.
Thanks
Zoe

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

Thanks for the reply,
It say a Valet was someone who attended a nobleman or gentleman, so he must have attended the King. He was quite important then I guess.

Hi,
I wondered if anyone knows what a Personal private valet, Page in Presence did exactly.
I have an ancestor who worked for the King in the 1920's and he moved to the royal household around this time.
Many thanks
Zoe

Hi
They were both from Strood Kent and James moved to Sheffield when he married my nan in 1917. James went to sea at 13 years of age. Sorry I don't know much
Kind Regards
