Hi Eric
I have had a look at the 1911 census that Gareth found, where Thomas Hawkins
age is given as 22. 'Margret' age 19 and children Thomas Edward age 1 and
Urias age les than one month. They were with Rees Thomas and family. There
is someone on Ancestry with a photo of Urias Hawkins on a tree. He appears
to have died in Blaenau Gwent in 1982.
https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/GLA/Gelligaer/YstradMynach shows that no
parish records for Ystrad Mynach have yet been deposited. However Gelligaer
Historical Society
www.gelligaerhistoricalsociety.co.uk is active and they
are close to Ystrad Mynach
It is curious that no marriage of a Hawkins and a Thomas in GRO between 1908
and 1917 seems to match this couple. Maybe they were not married.
There seems no obvious reason why someone from Clydach Vale in the Rhondda
valley should marry in Ystrad Mynach in the Rhymney valley.
I couldn't actually find Thomas William Hawkins on CWGC website with the
details given. What regiment was he in?
Regards
Jeff

Hello again,
Further to my post re Thomas William HAWKINS I now realise that there is a
GRO record for that name registered at Pontypridd in the 4th quarter of 1890
but I can find no valid entry for "Cornwall" which appears as his place of
birth on the
1911 census. A baptism record in the Pontypridd area (Porth?, Clydach?)
would also serve to establish his parents' names if any one has access to
it. Many Thanks.
Eric Millward
