I'm looking for information about a William Lawrence of Michelmersh who married Jane Gaiger in Kings Somborne in 1824. It appears she remarried a Wm. Whitlock in Lockerly in 1843 and she is shown in 1851 census w/Wm Whitlock and son James Lawrence age 14, born Michelmersh. I don't have access to 1841 census which might show her a widow or with William Lawrence. Any information about William Lawrence born approx. 1790s with his birth family and the children of his marriage would be appreciated. Thank you.

Do you know when Jane was born...I did find a Jane and a William but I'm not sure if they are your lot.

Sorry about that omission. She was born 1799.

I was looking for James but couldn't find a match either so I suspect it may a transcription error..... :-\ I'll keep looking :D

Mitchelmersh baptisms for William and Jane Lawrence
24th April 1825
Charlotte
30th September 1827
Elizabeth
14th February 1830
Jane
3rd June 1832
Henry
13th July 1834
Arthur
4th December 1836
George
26th May 1839
James
George and Jane may have been in Romsey on the 1851 census - George possibly in the union workhouse - idiot from birth - a possible for Jane was lodging in Romsey. Arthur is likely to be Alfred on the 1851 census in Lockerley the next household to the Whitlocks. Henry may have been married and living in Mottisfont but his age was given as 24.
Probable death registration for William (the only possible registered in Romsey registration district).
Deaths Sep 1839
Lawrance William Romsey &c 7 103

Thank you both very much. I didn't have all the children and their baptism dates. I've been assuming that Jane married Wm. Whitlock in 1843. In that case she would be Lockerly, Hants during the 1851 census with son, James. Valda--did you find a baptism for Wm. Lawrence, the father, in the 1790s in Michelmersh? I've been wondering about his family and the possible connection to Lawrences in Romsey in the 1760s.

Sorry to be so slow, but I just realized that Michelmersh baptisms were indexed on the internet at genuki.org.uk... What I don't see is any parents' names on the index. Does anyone on this board have access to the parish records (or transcripts) that would show the parents of the children baptised? I'm looking specifically for:
Laurance George 05 Mar 1791
Laurence Phebe 14 Jan 1787
Laurence Anne 17 May 1789
Laurence Benjamin 12 May 1793
Laurence William 23 Feb 1794
Laurence Rebecca 13 Jun 1795
Lawrence P?(dau) 10 Jun 1797
Also, there were 2 George Lawrence bap. close together.
Lawrence George 28 Aug 1836
Lawrence George 04 Dec 1836

George 5 Mar 1791 George & Betty
Phebe 14 Jan 1787 George & Betty
Anne 17 May 1789 George & Betty
Benjamin 12 May 1793 John George & Elizabeth
William 23 Feb 1794 Betty
Rebecca 13 Jun 1795 George & Elizabeth
P? 10 Jun 1797 George & Elizabeth
(this might be a son - Robert ;D)
George 28 Aug 1836 Charles & Elizabeth
George 4 Dec 1836 William & Jane

Thank you so much. The entry for "P dau" 10 Jun 1797 could be Phoebe. Another researcher suggested that, but I don't find a burial for the first Phebe. I appreciate the clarification on the George entries. Thank you for your time and sharing your resources. --Leslie

One more idea of how to check on name of last daughter? born in 1797. There are 2 Lawrence brides listed in Michelmersh about the right time for Rebecca and P?
Larrence Collence 15 Oct 1820
Lawrence Alexander 15 Oct 1816
Does anyone have access to the marriage registers OR could someone check on the 1841 census for Michelmersh for Collence (Collins) or Alexander families and see the first names? Thanks.
-
The transcript has a Robert baptised on 18 Jun 1797, not P... and no other Lawrence etc in 1797. Given that the transcript on Genuki has the date as 10th, it's possible that the writing may be poor, so best to check the original if possible.
Rebecca Larrence married William Collence 15 Oct 1820
Harriet Lawrence married John Alexander 15 Oct 1816.
Phebe, daughter of George was buried 17 Sep 1807.

Thank you Nell. I didn't realize that there were multiple transcripts out there. There appear to be some gaps in the genuki one and there are probably near illegible entries in the original. I will try and check the microfilm of the original parish register. It took 3.5 months for the last microfilm order I placed so I was looking for a quicker answer to my question. I should know by now...patience, patience when it comes to genealogy!

I have a baptism for Jane Gaiger in Kings Somborne on 13 October 1799. She was the eldest child of William Gaiger and Rachel Lovelock who married in Kings Somborne on 24 September 1795. Jane's sister also married a Lawrence, Henry, a woodman on 25 May 1830 in King Somborne. I haven't yet looked to see whether the Lawrences are related. I have a little bit of information about these Gaigers if you would like.
-
Thank you for your offer of assistance. I haven't worked on that line for a while, but I now have the Kings Somborne CDs with transcriptions of the parish records. The Lawrences are related. Henry's father had 4 wives and numerous children. Henry is a half brother to my direct-line ancestor James Lawrence.
I'm off this weekend to a genealogy conference, but will follow-up with you when I return. Are you related to the Lawrences or the Gaigers?

I know these posts are old but I am wondering whether you have details on the connection of William's father, George of Michelmersh and the Lawrence family of nearby Brook Somborne. Contact me *
