Note 1
!Stylename: Hawkins, John, Sr [~1490 - ~Aug 1540]
!Note: Likely guardian of his brother Nicolas’ daughter Elizabeth after her father joined the church. His burial and her first marriage both took place at this same church.
!Note: 1539–1542 in England - Context:
This period saw major disruption from the Dissolution of the Monasteries, which shuttered not just religious houses but also church-run hospitals, schools, and poor relief. The fallout from the Pilgrimage of Grace led to executions and heightened tension in the north. Combined with land seizures, Cromwell’s fall, royal instability, and sporadic disease outbreaks, the result was widespread displacement, hardship, and family fragmentation. These conditions likely explain the high rate of early deaths, remarriages, and child relocations during this time.
