Hawes
♀Ursula Hawes
Born 1602. Died 1602, Solihull, Warwickshire, England.
Ursula Hawes (baptized 19 January 1602 – buried 16 April 1602) was an infant daughter of a gentleman’s household at Hillfield in the parish of Solihull, Warwickshire, England, who lived less than three months. She was the eighth great-grand-aunt of Frederic Roger Curtis (1928–2007), the sister of Edmond Hawes (1612–1693), who was the eighth great-grandfather of Roger.
Baptism and burial
Her parents were Edmond Hawes and Jane Porter, whose first child, Jane, had been baptized at Solihull in October 1600. Ursula was their second. The parish register enters her baptism on 19 January, calling her “Mra Vrsula Hawes” and naming her father as “Mri Edmundi Hawes”, with the Hillfield house beside her name.
The register buries “Mris Vrsula Hawes, hillfeildes” on 16 April 1602. Even as a baby she carries the courtesy style “Mistress”, as the clerk styled every Hawes child baptised at Solihull between 1600 and 1611: “Master” for the sons, “Mistress” for the daughters. The style marked the rank of a gentleman’s family and said nothing about age or marriage. The burial entry names no father; a 1914 family history takes it to be the infant’s, and the name, the style and the Hillfield house all agree with that.
Her parents gave the name Ursula to a later daughter, baptized on 28 October 1606. That Ursula has her own page and is a different child.
Notes
The year of the baptism differs by the calendar. The parish register began its year on 25 March, so the January entry stands in 1601, and the 1914 history prints it as 19 January 1601-2. The tree gives the new-style yearW, 1602, and this page follows the tree.
