Hoxley's of Erith and Aylsford - Erith
It appears that someone else has done our family tree and has more on the Hoxley family under 'Welt' family tree which I have not yet accessed. It would be intersting to know how the Welts are related! Abraham Hoxley or Hawkswell was born I believe in Little Thurrock at Grays. His marraige to Esther Coles on 27th Dec 1858 has Abraham 'Hawkswell' as the name and the witnesses were William Coles and Eliza Wilson who was I think Abrahams sister. My great great grandfather Able Hawkswell married at Stansted church in the district of Malling Kent and it would appear that they were a very close family. They mostly worked in brick making following in the footsteps of their father Henry.
