Jane Dingle
presumably died before Frances's second marriage in 1848. While Jane
came from Egloshayle, there are large numbers of Dingles in the
Stoke Climsland Cemetery. The Dingles ran a major business in Stoke
Climsland. And note her father James came from Stoke Climsland
Mary Knight (b
1806 Plymstock, Devon. Mary presumably died before Frances's
third marriage in abt 1874.) They were married in Stoke Climsland and
we know of three children: John Knight Capt Hallelujah b 1849, Joseph
1850 and Mary Ann Williams Hawton b 1850. One of her sons was called
John Knight Captain Hallelujah. Would love to know the story. (Google
gives nothing.). The
census taker misspelt in 1861.
Note from Doug Nichols
I have recently been in touch with a
lady in Southampton whose
grandfather was the brother of John Knight Hawton's second wife. In
fact on the 1901 the 2 families actually shared the same house. She has
put me in touch with a cousin of hers who has supplied me with the
attached photo from the local paper. You will see from this that John
& his family were in the Salvation Army and this is where the
"Captain" comes from, and presumably the Hallelujah was a nickname. I am hoping to
find some of John's descendants still at Southampton and will keep you
posted.
Elizabeth (maiden
name unknown) had two children: Hester Ann Hawton 1875 and James

Some Notes on Francis and Jane's children from Doug Nichols
Judith Hawton
Posibly married a Dugald McTaggart and lived in Deptford, London. In
1871 half-brother John Knight staying with her - his wife was still in
Stoke Climsland with her parents.
James Hawton
Not on 1841 census with family - possibly working at nearby farm. A
James of this age went into the navy and lived at Devonport -
died 1903.
Robert Hawton
May have emigrated to Australia.
Dionysia Hawton
Birth Reg - Launceston Q3 1839 9/153
May have married a Robert Lavers Prouse at Plymouth Q3 1861 - 5b/394.
Francis Hawton
Married Eliza Charity Lavers Prouse in 1866.
Samuel Hawton
May have emigrated to Australia. A Samuel Hawton arrived at Melbourne
on the Prince of Wales in Dec 1861 - the same voyage that sister
Margaret and her family travelled on.

Jenny Mitchell obtained a lot of Hawton material in England.. There are
links from Margaret Hawtons page
Thanks to Doug Nichols for his input. He has a thirty page document on
the descendants of James Hawton. Some information has been extracted
where it refers to our direct line (Francis)
Research Notes
Genes Reunited checked fror Francis and Jane
Checked Local
History
site for Graveyard Stoke Climsland for deaths of wives but
found nothing.
LDS funable to find d of Francis, or any of his wives
Good candidate for Jane Dingle's birth is on 07 Nov 1802. Egloshayle
(20 miles W of Stoke Climsland, but date is spot on), parents James and
Elizabeth .Another try is on 21 Apr 1799 at South Petherwin (20
miles N of Stoke Climsland), parents David and Jane (in FHO).
Egloshayle looks better, as for South Petherwin, she would have
understated her age by six years in the 1841 census. Go with Egloshayle
as an 80% chance. Upgrade that, as the Egloshayle James Dingle
was
born in Stoke Climsland. Also Elizabeth was a Mitchell, and their
grandaughter married a Mitchell
LDS has a christening for James
Dingle in Stoke Climsland (1774) dying in Elgoshayle in 1863
Elizabeth Mitchell is difficult A search of Cornwall 1769-79
gives a list of 102 entries. One of the most promising is from St Agnes
in 1775, but it is in the too hard basket
Census records : 1841 I can't find
James Dingle. In 1851 James is a
widower living with daughter Rebecca. This census confirms the
Elgoshayle/stoke Climsland tie
At one stage I had Mary Ann Hawton
(b Stoke Climsand July 1820) as a child of Francis and Jaane, but I
believe that was an error.
There is a photo of Jane Hawton in
Ancestry with grandson Robert in the Edmunds/Ruse family tree, but I
have my doubts if Jane died prior to second marriage in 1848
