This probable ancestor of mine (KEZIA of Ashill, Som. circa 1815) has long been accepted by many as being the g-grandmother of Harry Hawker the great Australian aviator. I have always questioned this assertion. I think I'm close to so doing evidentially. The one missing piece in the puzzle rests within the Inmate Registers of the Chard Union 1838/9. |

Not sure how a record from 1838/9 will help.....................in view of when Kezia married |

So the puzzle is in proving that James (Henry) Hawker born c1838 is the son of James Hawker and Kezia Frome (Froom)? |

Incidentally, just to add to the muddy mix: on Kez's marriage cert her dad is recorded as JAMES POPE. I'd love to have sight of the Ashill and/or Winship, Som parish records too. |
