and sister Gillian Anne b1958
All born in Leytinstone East London
Father Michael Edward Alan Hawkey b1924
he had 2 brothers Leslie and John and a sister Eleanor
both brothers and sister are dead
My Grandfather was Sidney George Hawkey OBE lived
in Leytonstone East London, run a vehicle body business
he was born around 1850 died folkstone approx 1977
his wife was winifred who died approx 1965
I know he had a brother Edward and Reginald and a sister
called Renee. Renee died in 1981 and was the last of that
generation. I believe my grandfather was one of 8 children
There was a cousin called Susan who was a school teacher.
From memory my grandfather told me that a member of the family researched the family years before and traced it back
to cornwall and stopped because he discovered that a relative was hang for ship wrecking in cornwall.
also there was a hawkey who used to travel through the east end of London in a handsome cab throwing fish to the poor. He was known as haddock hawkey
If any one can help. I would appreciate all help and tips
