Aged 16 at the time of the 1881 census. Aged 24 at the time of the 1891 census, at which time she is living with her father, brothers, sisters and her two children on Jersey. Here her marital status appears to have been entered as single. Her age is entered as 33 at the time of the 1901 census, at which time she is living with her sister and two children in Portsmouth. Her marital status seems to have originally been entered as S for single, then overwritten with M for married. However, she is entered as head of household, there seems to be no partner present, and moreover her children seem to have taken her surname. Her birthplace is recorded in all four census entries as Ireland, with Queen's County also mentioned in the 1891.

Child 4:   John Hogan Born: 1867 Died:   Spouse: Children: Aged 3 at the time of the 1871 census. Aged 13 at the time of the 1881 census.  His occupation is recorded as "Errand Boy". His birthplace is recorded in both the 1871 and 1881 censuses as "St. Helier Jersey". A John Hogan also appears, aged 22, living with his wife and son ion Jersey n the 1891 census. It is not clear if this is the same John, but it is a possibility.

Child 5:   Mary Jane Hogan Born: 1871 Died:   Spouse: Vernon John Charles Hawkins Children: Basil  St. Helier Hawkins, Blanche M. J. Hawkins, Muriel Hawkins, Vernon Michael Cecil Hawkins, Gladys Isabel Hawkins, Eric Herbert M Hawkins, Olive Hawkins, Phyllis Octavia Hawkins, Alan Harry Hawkins, Dennis Hawkins Mary was born on Jersey to Irish parents, and throughout her life seems to have travelled a fair amount. She first appears in the 1871 census in Jersey, aged 1. Her birthplace here is recorded as "St. Helier, Jersey". She appears again in the 1881 census, aged 10, living with her parents in 2 Royal Crescent Cotys, St. Helier, Jersey. Her birthplace here is recorded as "St. Helier, Jersey". One "Mary J. Hogan", aged 19, appears in the 1891 Channel Islands census. Here she is living at 24, Temple View in the parish of St. Martin on Jersey. She appears to be working as a nurse and domestic servant for one John M. Miles and his family. This seems to fit, as I have heard on several occasions that Mary was working as a maid or something similar at some point, around the time she met Vernon. Winin a year or so of the 1891 census, it seems likely she moved from Jersey to Guernsey, where (probably) she met her husband Vernon, and where her first three children were born, starting with Basil  in 1892. By the time of her son Vernon's birth in 1896 she had moved to Vernon's home town of Portsmouth, where the rest of the children were also born. She next appears in the 1901 census, living with husband Vernon and six of her children at 17 Darlington Road, Portsmouth. Her age is recorded as 29 and her place of birth is written "Channel Islands Jersey". Mary is mentioned as one of the attendees at her husband Vernon's funeral, in 1937. My Dad had the impression that very late in life, maybe even in her 80s or 90s (so during the 1950s or even 1960s) she finally emigrated to Australia, most of her children having moved there previously. From talking to her granddaughter Cornelia it appears this may not entirely true - perhaps only two of her children moved permanently to Australia, and although Mary did go to Australia very late on in life, Cornelia seemed to think she did later return to England. Cornelia think this was when she was 13 or so, making it sometime around 1953 perhaps. Cornelia said that Mary then went to live with her eldest daughter Blanche.

Child 6:   Thomas Hogan Born: 1872 Died:   Spouse: Children: Aged 8 at the time of the 1881 census, his birthplace is recorded as "St. Helier, Jersey".

One Elizabeth C. Hogan also appears in the 1891 census, aged 16 with the same birthplace. Here she is working as a servant at a house in St. Helier.

Child 8:   Blanche Hannah Hogan Born: 1879 Died: 12-Jun-1901 Spouse: Children: Aged 1 at the time of the 1881 census, her place of birth is recorded as "St. Helier, Jersey". One Blanche A. Hogan also appears in the 1891 census, aged 11 with the same birthplace. Here she is working as a servant at a house in St. Helier. Blanche appears in the 1901 census, aged 21, lviing with her sister Bridget in Portsmouth. It seems she lived here up until the time of her death.
