Each person is marked by where that line came from, in words as well as colour.
On the individual lines:
- Mary Appleyard (spouse): banns read
- John Hawkins (child): best candidate
What the record says
Probable The register offers exactly one William-and-Mary pair among 44 Hawkins marriage entries, married in the right year; that is a best candidate and not proof.
Born about 1772 to 1776 (the 1841 and 1848 ages) · died 23 November 1848, buried at Aldenham aged 76 (matched by name and abode)

| 6 Jun 1841 | A widower of 65 at Round Bush | The only William Hawkins at Aldenham old enough to have married in 1800 (HO107 piece 438, book 3, folio 10, page 14, schedule 477), in a household of Mash and Rogers with no wife. His wife Mary had been buried in 1822, which fits. Ages were rounded in 1841, so this is matching and not a find. | Read with care |

Where this comes from
Each line of the table above names the record it rests on in its third column, and the grade at the top says how well the whole is evidenced. What is not established is said under its own heading below. How the grades and the labels on the chart are decided, and every source this archive holds.
What is not established
- The marriage entry names Mary Appleyard and no parents. His own baptism is a separate gap, below.
- His own baptism and parents are unknown.
- That the John of 1819 is the Red Lion man is a best candidate.
