Hi again Eric,
Sorry for delay in getting back to you. I had not previously researched the Hawley's as they are not directly related to "my" Tooleys but did have the details from 1901 census as James and Elizabeth are living at 141 Osler Street , Edgbaston Birmingham with their daughter and Alfred Tooley.
Alfred Tooley 35 Billiard marker born Whitacre, Warwickshire
Elizabeth 35 wife Fazeley, Staffordshire
Elizabeth M. 10 daughter Birmingham
James Hawley F in law 59 dairyman Wilnecote, Warwickshire
Elizabeth Hawley M in law 60 Wilnecote, Warwickshire
In 1911 James is in Tamworth Union Workhouse and I assume it is his death record at Tamworth in 1914. Elizabeth is still with the Tooleys.
I have now followed James back through the census . In 1891 and 1881 he is a coal miner and in 1861 a day labourer. His birthplace is consistently Wilnecote and Ancestry have a transcribed baptism record:
Birthdate 26 Apr 1842
Bap date 17 Jul 1842
Parents Adam and Mary Hawley
At Wilnecote and Castle Liberty, Warwickshire
They can all be found on 1851 census
Adam Hawley 40 Besom maker Derbyshire, Matlock
Mary wife 43
William son 18
George son 11. All apart from Adam born Wilnecote.
James son 9
Adam son 6
John son 2
Hope that helps. You now have a new county to search in. So probably many months if not years of research ahead of you.
Best wishes, Moira
