I'm trying to find more info on my Hawkshaw ancestors. We've been blessed with an extremely rare Irish name.

My earliest ancestor was James Hawkshaw, born around 1820-1825. He married Bridget ________.

Their son, William, was born in Westport, Co Mayo either 1840 or 1847. He married Julia McDonnell. William settled in Mt Morris Twp, Mich (near Flint).

There are several other Hawkshaws in the Mt Morris area, and I believe they are all related, but I don't know how. Possibly descendents of William's brothers.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Thanks!
