The supplied household transcript for 125a Croydon Road, Anerley S E, lists George Hawes, aged three months, as a visitor alongside Walter, Frances and Eric. This records their presence on census night, rather than proving their usual residence.

1939 Register: birth date

The George W entry in the supplied 46 Gipsy Hill register extract appears to record birth on 27 December 1910, single marital status and occupation “Student”. A December 1910 birth is compatible with the existing January–March 1911 birth registration. The date is recorded as a reading of the supplied original extract; matching this entry to Rev George W. Hawes rests on its family context.

Family origins

An England and Wales birth index records George W. Hawes in the Camberwell registration district in the first quarter of 1911, with mother's maiden surname Creese (volume 1D, page 751). The family identifies George as a son of Walter Joseph William Hawes and Frances Ellen “Nellie” Creese.

The Kenya appointment in 1956

A family-held newspaper clipping dated 30 May 1956 reports that George had been vicar of St Paul's, East Ham, for eight years and intended to leave on 15 June to supervise missionary work in Kenya's Western Province.
