Another possible birth AMJ 1928 Victor L HAWKINS mmn Aylett Romford 4a 825

Aaaargh. Just re-read your post, Tracy. If you've heard the name, you won't have misread it. But as for taxi drivers, no probs. I know a hackney cab driver who is celebrating his 80th next month.

hi jools yes he wrote to another relative and told her but thats was about it just general chit chat in the letter tracy x

Are you absolutely certain it is Possie and not Rossie? I lived next door to a woman called Rossie. I found her on the 1901 (and she would have been livid to see herself mistranscribed as Bessie) She came from the Braintree area and there are lots of Rossies there. It might originally have been short for something, but by the late 1800s it was a name in its own right.

Still doing cabs at that age surprises me, I didn't think the PCO let you drive after 70

hi merry i agree dosnt look like its him ? im going round in circles i thought if i could find his birth or one of the childrens then it would have given me the mothers maiden name then i could find the marriage but alas i will keep looking thanks again everyone for your help tracy x

Oh B*M, so Jools birth reg looks less likely then..... Merry

hi merry yes i beleive he is still alive in 2004 he was still driving a black cab in london age 76 this is where i got his birth year from sorry !! but i did understand all what you wrote regarding searching , lol thanks tracy x

I think Posie can be short for Rosemary? Tina

This death matches up with the birth Jools found....... Name: Victor Reginald Hawkins Death Year: [1988] Age: 62 Birth Date: 11 Sep 1925 Death Registration Month/Year: Mar 1988 Registration District: Stafford Inferred County: Staffordshire Inferred Country: England His birth could easily have been reg in Q4 1925. Any good????? merry

Is Victor still alive?? If not and if he died 1984-2002 then his death reg should be an ancestry (searchable) and it will include his birth date (as given by the death informant) If he died 1969-1983 then his date of birth will still be in the index, but you would have to trawl....... If he died 2003-2004 then his death (and dob) will be on 1837online, but you would have to pay...... If he's dead, do you know when and where, roughly?? Go on, tell me he's still alive!! Merry

hi jools yes that could be him i have no way of knowing where they moved to so yes could be him thankyou so much at least it could be a lead tracy x

How does this birth grab you?? OND 1925 Victor R HAWKINS mmn Clift Wolverhampton 6b 559

hi helen yes i agree ive been trying to match the childrens names with mothers surnames if you get what i mean ?? but still no closer to finding her maiden name jessie that is thanks tracy x

hi jool im sorry i really dont know i searched births between 1926 to 1928 and theres no sign ?? thanks tracy x

The only way to find the marriage and Possie/Polly/Posy/Posie/Posey's birth etc is to go through the GRO marriage and birth indexes. Tedious, but no quick way until Freebmd gets up to the 1920s. nell
