The new leaves of this young Hawthorn are suddenly turning black. Can this be because of a couple of frosts in the night or is it something else. It's just this one. Don't see this on my other Hawthorns.

I was just looking at my elm this morning, noting where the "tester" leaves were, the early ones, cuz they're black tipped.

If you know those took a freeze and the new growth is ok, I think you'll be alright.

I’ve previously had freezes turn the new leaf tips black.

Yes, that looks to me as standard freeze damage.
