| PP_33 | That Elizabeth Horrell (33), was the mother of Edward Mardon Hawkins (16) | PP_16 | |||
| See the Proof for Thomas Hawkins for records for his wife Elizabeth Horrell. | PP_32 | ||||
| The death of Elizabeth Hawkins (born Horrell) is recorded at 8 Britten St. Chelsea on 3 June 1863, aged 78 - so born around 1785. | |||||
| The 1841 census gives her age as 53, so born around 1788. | |||||
| On her marriage in 1814 her parish is given as Holsworthy, Devon. | |||||
| The 1851 census gives her place of birth as Holsworthy, Devon. | |||||
| Her birth is certainly the one in Holsworthy, Devon in 1786, daughter of Joshua and Bridget Horrell. | Birth | ||||
| Her brother born in 1788 was also Joshua, and it is likely the Joshua in Jersey in 1814 named as Edward Mardon Hawkins' godfather. | Joshua | ||||
| Her parents are certainly the Joshua Horrell and Bridget Buckley who married in 1785 in Tavistock. | Parents | ||||
| My descent from Elizabeth Horrell is confirmed by one DNA match of about 25cM with a descendant of her sibling John Joshua Mardon Horrell, and at least 24 matches averaging about 19cm of all descendants of Elizabeth with all descendants of John Joshua Mardon Horrell. | DNA | ||||
| So the mother of Edward Mardon Hawkins (16), | |||||
| Elizabeth Horrell (33), born in 1786 in Holsworthy, | |||||
| married to Thomas Hawkins (32) in 1814 in Jersey, | PP_32 | ||||
| died in 1863 in Chelsea, was the daughter of | |||||
| Joshua Horrell (66), and | PP_66 | ||||
| Bridget Buckley (67). | |||||
| PP_66 | That Joshua Horrell (66), was the father of Elizabeth Horrell (33) | PP_33 | |||
| As we saw above, Joshua Horrell married Bridget Buckley in Holsworthy in 1785, and they had 3 children - Elizabeth in 1786, Joshua John Mardon in 1788 and Charity in 1794 (died 1800). | |||||
| The most obvious birth of a Joshua Horrell would be the one 24 years before his marriage and in the same place, Joshua the son of William and Elizabeth Horrell.. | Birth | ||||
| He had siblings Mary born in 1762, Charity 1764, Elizabeth 1767 and William 1770. | |||||
| Joshua's parents were married in Holsworthy a year before his birth - William Horrell and Elizabeth Giffard. | Marriage | ||||
| My descent from Joshua Horrell is confirmed three DNA matches of about 13.3cM with descendants of his brother William Horrell, and at least 20 matches averaging about 13cM of all descendants of Joshua with all descendants of William. | DNA | ||||
| So the father of Elizabeth Horrell (33), | |||||
| Joshua Horrell (66), born in 1761 in Holsworthy, | |||||
| married to Bridget Buckley (67) in 1785 in Tavistock, | |||||
| died in ? in , was the son of | |||||
| William Horrell (132) and | |||||
