Married 1914
In the newspaper cutting about Vernon's obituary, one of his daughters is named "Mrs. Crofton". This seems to tie in very well with the entry in the GRO index for Jul/Aug/Sep 1914. Here it is noted that a Blanche M. J. Hawkins was married to a Mr. Crofton in Chelsea, (volume 1a page 996).|
Husband:
William Royston Crofton Born: 1887 Died: Father: Mother: It seems likely that the William R. Crofton is the same William Crofton that appears in the 1901 census living with his parents in Portsmouth, aged 13. Tracing this back, there is an entry in the GRO indices for Jul/Aug/Sep 1887 of the birth of a William Royston Crofton, born in Portsea (volume 2b page 461). |

Wife:
Blanche M. J. Hawkins Born: 1893 Died: Father: Vernon John Charles Hawkins Mother: Mary Jane Hogan Born on Guernsey. Aged 7 at the time of the 1901 census, so would have been born sometime between 1st April 1893 and 31st March 1894. She may have been named after either or both of two aunts - both Vernon and Mary had sisters named Blanche. Blanche was apparently a very maternal figure, and spent a lot of time looking after other members of the family. It is thought she looked after Mary in her later years, as well as taking in her sister Olive's daughter when Olive died. |
