Unable to locate Male ancestor pre marriage

[James Hawkey]

@Rosie Thats a great little find, thank you

@Queenofthewest I have ordered my DNA kit through ancestry just the other day, I'm filling out unsolved areas the tree whilst waiting, will be interesting what it comes to reveal.
I have added the Hillam Rudd line for now as seems the best fit as yet. John Hillam (Rudd) Grandad was Luke Hillam 1786 Peterborough who Married Lydia Rudd he uses the Hillam Rudd for his children but not himself, so seems Hillam was the paternal name originally after all.

Do update us on whether your results shed any light on the Hillam-Rudd situation. Always interesting to see if a theory is indeed reality!
