Manman Hawking te fèt nan yon fanmi doktè nan Glasgow, Scotland. Granparan rich li, ki soti nan Yorkshire, te achte tè agrikòl epi li te fèb nan gwo depresyon agrikòl la nan kòmansman 20yèm syèk la.

Isobel te travay kòm sekretè nan yon enstiti rechèch medikal, e Frank te yon chèchè medikal. Hawking te gen de sè pi piti, Philippa ak Mary, ak yon frè adopte, Edward Frank David (1955 <unk> 2003). Nan 1950, lè papa Hawking te vin tèt nan divizyon an nan parazitoloji nan Enstiti Nasyonal la pou Rechèch Medikal, fanmi an demenaje ale rete nan St Albans, Hertfordshire. Nan St Albans, fanmi an te konsidere kòm trè entelijan ak yon ti jan eksantrik; repa yo te souvan pase ak chak moun an silans lekti yon liv. Yo te viv yon egzistans frugal nan yon gwo, dezord, ak mal antreteni kay ak vwayaje nan yon taksi Lond konvèti. Pandan youn nan absans souvan papa Hawking la k ap travay nan Lafrik, rès fanmi an te pase kat mwa nan Majorca vizite zanmi manman l 'yo Beryl ak mari l', powèt Robert Graves la.  Kesyon: Ki kalite kontrent Frank ak Isobel te genyen pou yo te vini nan lòd pou yo ale nan Inivèsite Oxford?
