So when did William George Hawkins commit suicide?

I note that William George thought he had two dec'd children rather than one, as reported by Mary.

George is on the same monument in Streatham - as George Belmont - June 1929 aged 55. Allegedly, he left my family his masonic regalia (there was, of course, no will) but when my grandfather turned up at the house, he was sent away with a flea in his ear.

Here is George on Freebmd in June 1929:

Hawkins William G 55 Lambeth 1d 173

Oh, I'd assumed she had left him when she took up the handcuffs! So there should be a Hawkins death reg for Mary too?

According to Mabel, she and two small brothers were dumped by Mary. In 1911, Mary is in the workhouse and George in Portsmouth. According to my Dad, George took up with someone else, and had children by them.

However, it is Mary reporting the death, so whatever happened, she and he got back together.

For the record, this is Mary in 1881:

She is aged 3, so should be aged abt 53 when she dies. Not 40.

This seems the most likely, but I cannot be sure:
March 1931
Hawkins Mary 53 Camberwell 1d 1112

Oh well done!

I wasn't actually sure what it was that you wanted to know from your first post, unless it was just 'could she have pretended to be American?', but I did look hard for her with Mabel in 1901 but found nothing.
