Jeremiah Hawkings moved to Apple Tree Farm, Worle circa 1860 with his third wife Lucy.

This was a smallholding on the outskirts of Weston-super-Mare that was a few generations later to become the home of Edgar Hawkings and his wife Dorothy. At the time when Jeremiah lived there the homestead was a thatched house dating from sometime around the seventeenth century, this building was to survive until the nineteen fifties when it was demolished to make way for a new farmhouse.

Edgar Hawkings later farmed at Apple Tree Farm from 1931.

Another farm in Worle, Poplar Farm was farmed by Maurice Champion.
