A possibility is the USA, 1880 CENSUS, A widow, working as a servant in household but strange supposedly a son (son in law?) of Charles H. SEYMOURE ? Spelling of HAUKINS probably a transcription error. see below

Cliff,
Thank you so much for this valuable information. There seems to be a strong possibility he's my grandfather's eldest sibling. I will now look in Ohio to follow up your lead.
Many thanks, Heather
