William Hawkins
1845-1933
William Hawkins was the second of the five children of John Hawkins and his wife Ethel (née Rowell) of Witcham, Cambridgeshire.
Like his father, William worked the fenland, and he is noted as a labourer at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Newell in 1868. By 1881 he was named as a 'Farm Servant', becomming a 'Publican and Farmer' by the 1891 census.
The couple lived in Hillrow - an area of Cambridgeshire's fenland to the West of Haddenham where they raised seven children.
William was the publican of The Two Pot House, a pub on Hillrow, Haddenham.
