Please can somebody help me solve the mystery of Ormaond Delve Hawkes.
He appears on the 1841 Census along with Benjamin John, Thomas and William. The parents James and Hannah appear on a different record. I think this has been transcribed incorrectly.
I don't know Hannah's name but it may be that her surname was Delve?
A Hannah married a John Delve earlier.
I believe that William may also have been a delve as he appears in 1861 as William Delos (Delve) as James' Son-in-Law.
I also think that John Hawkes from 1841 was a Delve Hawkes too.
Ormond Delve Hawkes disappears after 1841, I cannot find any other record of him. I also cannot find William in 1851.
Is their anyone out there with more experience to help me unravel the mystery?

Thanks

Andrew

On the image on ancestry, parents and boys are all at the same address.

Only father James is noted as born in county (ie, Surrey), all others not born in county. Bearing this in kind, and looking at the difference in ages of James and hannah ..... ti may be that none of the boys are actually James' children

The dittoes under the surnames are a bit ambiguous but I think you are right about William and John being Deve Hawkes. Hannah is shown as 10 years older than James so possibly had been married before and the 3 elder children were from that marriage.

Have you looked for a death for Ormond?

Potty - I have looked for a death and have been unable to find one.
Sylvia - that is where I git the idea that Hannah was married previously to John Delve.

I am still stuck and the mystery is just so frustrating as the Thomas (his brother) is my GGGrandfather.

Nos 3 4 & 6 could be my Ormond, William & John. Maybe Hannah, Henry & John Robert were not with them in 1841? I suppose I will never know without more digging and help

Would you all with your experience think that Ormond Reahead Delve is my Ormond?
And that perhaps William & John were sons of Hannah from a previous marriage?
I suppose if I could find Hannah & James' marriage it may help.
