Title: Help wanted with Family Tree
Post by: JEFF1964 on Saturday 04 February 06 20:58 GMT (UK)

I am just starting to do my family tree, and if possible would like some info on the following people:-

William Joseph LAWRENCE ( DOB1899) married Marjorie Davis LAWRENCE (nee) DALE (DOB 1904) 

Joseph LAWRENCE married Alice Esther (DOB 1873)  approx.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jeff

Hi Jeff, and welcome to RootsChat,

Because of your other posting re birth of William Lawrence in the Clun reg district I thought this was a likely candidate ...

Abley, Clunbury

Ernest Lawrence, head, 24, carpenter, Clunbury
Helen Lawrence, wife, 24, Docklow, Hereford
William Lawrence, 2, Clunbury

... but he turns out to be William Ernest, not Joseph.
Births: June q 1899, Clun, Montgomeryshire/Shropshire, 6a/608
LAWRENCE, William Ernest


Marriages Dec q 1897, S. Stoneham, Hampshire, 2c/177
LAWRENCE, Joseph
LIGHT, Alice Esther

Births December q 1899, S. Stoneham, Hampshire, 2c/50
William Joseph LAWRENCE

Births June q 1873, S. Stoneham, Hampshire, 2c/40
Alice Esther LIGHT


1881
Copperhill Tce, Hamble

Elizabeth Light, 41, mariner’s widow,
Alice Light, 7
Kathleen, 3
Edward, 10 mos

All born Hamble, Hampshire


1901
37 Victoria Rd, St Edwards, Hampshire

Alice Lawrence, mar, 27, shirt maker, Hamble
Joseph, 1, Hound
Elizabeth Light, mother, wid, 61, Hamble

I can't find Joseph in 1901, though he would appear to still be alive.

There are various Lawrences connected to Clunbury. Is this where you think your Joseph came from?

Cheers,

Ros

I have no idea where Joseph LAWRENCE comes from, but i initially thought of Shropshire, but reading replies that i have received from others on this site, i am beginning to think that he may have come from the SOUTHAMPTON / HAMPSHIRE AREA

Thanks
