THE HAWKEN FAMILY

This family has been one of the most difficult I have researched due to the variations in the spelling of the surname. I have encountered Hockin, Hocken, Hawkin, Hawking, Hocking and Hoskin. I have settled on Hawken as that is the name given by Miriam on her marriage to Samuel Lane in 1877.

I have used the spelling of the surname as it was recorded in the parish register and census returns

John Hockin married Susanna May on 24 DEC 1782 in Menheniot
(Susannah Hawking of Tilland, St Germans was buried on 27 MAY 1821 in Menheniot aged 59)
(John Hawkins of Tilland, St Germans was buried on 6 OCT 1828 in Menheniot aged 71)

I have identified six children
