THE HAWKEN FAMILY

This family has been one of the most difficult I have researched due to the constant variations in the spelling of the surname. I have encountered Hockin, Hocken, Hawkin, Hawking, Hocking and Hoskin. I have settled on Hawken as that is the name given by Miriam on her marriage to Samuel Lane in 1877.

I have used the spelling of the surname as it was recorded.

John Hockin married Susanna May in Menheniot on 24 December 1782

I have identified five children
