Hawksley occupations

If I understand Chris' research correctly, the conundrum is did George Hawksley of Sheffield have 3 sons, George, John and Thomas? Did George stay out of the British Army, unlike John or Thomas, but did George move from Sheffield to the Shinrone in Ireland because John and Thomas were both stationed nearby at Birr? It is an interesting hypothesis that deserves more follow up research. A dna test may be the quickest and simplest way to prove or disprove the hypothesis.

George died or was buried in a Protestant church in Roscrae ( the only one) in 1854 I think. Two of his sons Robert and Richard went to Victoria Australia where Richard changed his name from Hawksley to Oxley.

Hi Jeffrey, thanks for that info. I am descended from George's son Robert Hawksley who moved to Victoria and then to Western Australia before being buried back in Victoria. If you want further info, I have just changed my email address to farefam68 at gmail dot com
