I'm looking for information about the Church of England (I believe) that would be in Heanton Punchardon from 1896 - 1901. One of my ancestors was the curate there -- Rev. Robert M. Hawkins. His granddaughter, Margaret, from Canada, was taken back to England to live there with him for a number of years. Rev. Hawkins wife was named Agnes or Charlotte and they had a daughter Margaret as well as the Canadian granddaughter I mentioned. Mostly I would like to know about the church -- large? small? stone? brick? Where would the minister and his family have lived etc. If anyone can help I'd sure be thankful!
