Gt. Grandfather ALBERT HAWKINS made it very difficult for us. He had 13 (yes, thirteen!) children by Mary Ann Inwood and registered none of them! And, yes, the marriage date of 1927 is correct. Luckily one of his Grandchildren had details of the 13 (see below) and we also knew he was a Sapper so putting the birthplace of the first born (Brighton, May 1881) and the 1881 Census together, there he was. Another of his Grandchildren thought that he had married late in life and a long search at the FRC yielded results.
