William HOOKINS was born in Pawlett in 1857 and married Susan MASON at the Parish Church in that village on Christmas Day 1880. All of their children were born and baptised there and William and Susan were both eventually buried in the village churchyard as were some of their children. This picture of the village was taken in 1908 and was on the reverse side of a postcard sent by William's son Samuel to his cousin Beatrice who was born in 1887 in Cardiff where her father had migrated to from Somerset before 1881 and her married there in 1884. Unfortunately his wfe Alice died in 1891 it is thought during the birth of Beatrice's twin siblings' birth in 1891.
