Australia / Re: looking for LAWARDORN family history

Hi Mabeljessie
I had the same trouble with Thomas Paramouin McConnell and haven't been able to find any information.  You said you were the granddaughter of John Lawrie.  The only time I have come across that name is on Sarah Ellen Lee death certificate. Did she marry John after John McConnell died. I am having trouble tracing Sarah Ellen's parents. I believe her mother wasmarried to a William Thompson. Then she married Thomas James Lee in Castlemaine or some where close by. They then moved to Walhalla were he worked in the mines.  As most of the records were destroyed in the big fire they had in the early days it is hard to follow up.
Can only keep trying.

Hi Jamjar
I have just found this sight. I am the granddaughter of Conrad Lawardorn and Mary Ellen. My mother was the second youngest daughter.  Veronica was the eldest after the boys. I have spent today writng down all the bits and pieces on this sight. Some I already have but need to put them in order.  I do have some photos of my grandfather and his children. I believe there was a lovely one of  their wedding that went to Warrnambool when she stayed with Aunty Vera but have no idea what happened to it.  Brothers snd sisters never seem to be very close. I meet a couple of them before I was married but they didn't correspond. There are several of the family under the name of Lawdorn living in the Moe and Sale area. I believe the name change about the time of the war because it was supposed to be German. I am not sure how we go about getting photos to you I am not an expert on the computer.

I have just found this site by accident and couldn't believe what I read. I am a descendent from the Lawardorn family.  John McConnellwas my grandmothers father. She married Conrad Lawardorn in 1903 and my late mother was their second youngest daughter.
  Veronica Jenkins was their eldest girl after 5 boys.  All of the children are deceased and I don't know about cousins as there was very little contact.   Hoping I have followed the steps right and I may here from interested parties.
