Actual DoB for Harry Hawkins on 1939 register is 23rd June - Ancestry transcription posted above is wrong. There is a closed record immediately below Harry’s entry.

For their part, FMP have transcribed Harry’s surname as `HawkinGs’. I have submitted a correction

Have you found Harry on the 1937 register

Do you have his birth date or year


When Lilian remarried in 1952 was she a widow or divorced


The Harry who died in 1937 was aged 40: how does that tie with your Harry age

Plus would have thought if he died 1937 then Lilly would have remarried before the 50.s

Where are you looking for BMD info?

Ignore other trees unless there is documented PROOF attached to the record.

Followed up with all information that was kindly sent to me, the problem we are having is regarding Harry Hawkins death year, we do know that he married twice first marriage Lillan Gertrude York in 1920 Kings Norton, 2nd marriage Lily Rollins 1950 Birmingham, but the problem we are having is that most trees that we have looked at are showing Harry Hawkins who married Lillan Gertrude York show his death in 1937 Cheadle. I find this strange as information past onto me from my mother was that she clearly remembered her nana Rollins Harry Hawkins second wife. We are thinking that death record for the Harry Hawkins 1937 Cheadle is not the Harry Hawkins that married Lillan Gertrude York, but the problem we are having is that we cant seem to find a death record for Harry Hawkins past 1950 the year he married Lily Rollins
Thanks Kelly

There's a child born 1934 who is registered under Binley and Hawkins, so she was with him then.

Another child born in 1938 too.
