Henry James HOOKINS was the son of William and Susan born in Pawlett Somerset in 1893. He served in the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars but his occupation in 1943 is shown to be a Brickyard Labourer. Both his father and his uncle Walter worked at the brickworks thought to be in Puriton close to Bridgwater. The picture above shows some of the brickyard workers and Henry can be seen seated on the front row on the right.

You've done a great job putting all this family history together. I have no link to your family but I am originally from N Devon.... Combe Martin actually. I'm interested in family history research too.
Long time in noticing this comment as I didn't get a notification. So apologies for that but my thanks for your remarks.
