Hello Nick,
I haven't done any research for several years, but I have been thinking that it is something I must continue. My mother was Edith Bowry. I assume that the Bowry/Hawkins families were on good terms at the beginning of the last century, as there were three marriages of siblings. Daisy / Bess / Albert Hawkins, married Sam / Frank / Edith Bowry. My parents had 7 children, but only two of us are still living. I am the baby of the family. For the past 10 years I have been living in Worcester. Do let me know if you would like any further information.
My email address is jeshawkins@btinternet.com
