Any idea of dates, even approximate for James and Tom ?

It's a good idea to include a little more information in a query - e.g. what details do you have already, which sources you've already searched etc

I'm guessing they were RC - no sign of a Julia hanbridge marriage on the civil BMD Index. There are a number of Thomas Hawkins listed with deaths in Baltinglass district - at least three, but probably the one that fits the date you just mentioned would be this one (assuming your Thomas stayed in the Baltinglass area) :

  Name: Thomas Hawkins
  Registration district:   Baltinglass
  Event type: Death
  Quarter and year:   Oct - Dec 1913
  Age : 77  (est. year of birth 1836)
  Volume number:   2 / Page: 261

not sure if this fits somehow - a Julia Hawkins, but a bit older than that Thomas...

  name: Julia Hawkins
  registration district:   Baltinglass
  Event type: Death
  Quarter and year: Apr - Jun 1894
  Age (at death): 89   (est year of birth 1805)
  Volume :   2 / Page:   292

maybe not RC, unless it was in a registry office - the marriage is on the BMD Index with bride's name as Judith Hanbidge  (no 'r')

  Name: Thomas Hawkins
  Registration district:    Baltinglass
  Event type: Marriage
  Year: 1855
  Volume :   2 / Page: 383

Same references for a  Judith Collins Hanbidge

There are a number of Hanbidge listings on Griffiths in Co. Wicklow - so that marriage doesn't seem to be a mistranscription.

see : Hanbidge, Co. Wicklow

Some are as occupiers but a number are as immediate lessors (landlords), and most are in Donard civil parish with a couple in each of Dunlavin and Blessington parishes.

These entries are dated 1853 and 1854.
