London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: LAURENCE family in Clapham in 1861 Census
« on: Friday 23 November 12 12:27 GMT (UK) »I am presuming it was a sort of very small boarding school. The head of the household was a widow of a commanding officer. Along with her relations she had two governesses and 8 boys, some from abroad, so perhaps military connections.
Regards
Valda
Hi Valda, thanks for repklying, of course there must have been masses of little exclusive schools like this but I just wondered how you found out that the head was a widow and had those governesses and 8 boys . .. I wondered if there was a way of finding out more about it! As a newbie to your site I don't mean to be a nuisance.

I have been in contact with Keith Sherwood most successfully. My grandmother was the youngest daughter of Sydney Laurence (who sent those two sons above, to school) I would so love to know a little more about the little boarding school you miraculously found! My own mother was never allowed to go to school because my grandmother had had such a bad time at her boarding school!! I have tried the internet to find it with noi luck.

to JenB -Thank you so much for making those details clear! I have actually sent a PM (I think) to Richard Sherwood (full of typos which I didn't notice till I'd clicked send) One has to learn the language of the site I realise.

Thanks JenB and thanks aghadowey --
It is really good to read all these new people who like me find the site so hard to suss out at first!
If it's made complicated in order to put spam-pushers and blasphemers into despair I suppose that must be a good thing. Aghadowey - you've 'split' the Laurence family topic but I can't find the split
JenB seems to have replied to me . . but at the top of my page it says I have 0 messages

Hello Keith, the youngest of the thirteen children of Sydney and Mary was Annie Marguerite - my maternal Grandmother. She married Cecil Wilson who worked with ghis brother in law to found Laurence Scott Electromoters and his son Gerald was Managing Director of the firm for many years for many years.
The family tree goes back to a glorious Zaccaria Levi 1751 -1828 born in Venice Italy and died in London. It was his son Joseph b.1791 who changed the family name to Laurence. He was the father of Sydney b. 1819
I could send you the tree, such as it is.

Please Berlin Bob How do I start a topic? How can I reply to a post made in 2005 which came up without any 'live' RootsChat page I have the topic name: Re: LAURENCE family in Clapham in 1861 Census but how can I get on that page so the sender (Keith Sherwood) might know about it, or be told about it.

I'm moderately intelligent but I CANNOT see how even to post a message!! I want to contact a forum of 2005 I came upon by chance concerning my family It is Re: LAURENCE family in Clapham in 1861 Census but HOW do I send a message to Valda or to Keith Sherwood I could tell him all about those relatrions to Reginald Wilson, as I have his family tree and his sister is my grandmother. THere! Have I send a message?
