Hawkes of Leicester, U.K.
Hello everyone,
I am the great grandson of Arthur Hawkes, Lord mayor of Leicester in 1932 who was the son of William Hawkes. Arthur was born in Leicester in 1871 and according to his biography is described as being a member of the Hawkes family from Devonshire who settled in Leicester in about 1735.
Can anyone possibly add more to this for the period up to 1871?
I hope there is some help out there somewhere!
Thanks
