I am not seeing a son George with this family.

HAWKINS George      41y  Greenwich Pensioner      b. Plymouth Devon
HAWKINS Margaret   40y                                      b. Plymouth Devon
HAWKINS Charles     15y   blacksmith (app)           b. Plymouth Devon
HAWKINS Eliza         20y   dressmaker                   b. Plymouth Devon

Greenwich pensioner?.  Has George HAWKINS been in the Royal Navy?

If you have a marriage certificate, 1848, can you please list all the information on the document.

Ancestry Census 1851
32 Looe Street 
HAWKINS George      41y  Greenwich Pensioner      b. Plymouth Devon
HAWKINS Margaret   40y                                      b. Plymouth Devon
HAWKINS Charles     15y   blacksmith (app)           b. Plymouth Devon
HAWKINS Eliza         20y   dressmaker                   b. Plymouth Devon

The above is incorrect. Head of household in 1851 in CHARLES Hawkins.


Charles HAWKEN died 1858
His probate index states “Sergeant in H M Corps of Sappers and Miners who died 7 May 1858 at Koonch in Bengal, India. Probate granted to Margaret HAWKEN of the Parish of Charles Plymouth, widow of the said deceased.”

Could Charles and George have been brothers? – that idea might be worth further investigation.
To this end, I suggest you get the marriage certificate for Charles and Margaret's marriage in 1848, as this should give you Charle's father's name and occupation.
