Sorry, I guess the timescales would be 1890 to about 1915, the children were born 1875 to 1903.

Thanks

Does anyone know whether the schooling of individuals is traceable?  I'm looking for any records in Plymouth.

Advice would be appreciated.

thanks Josey - they married in 1881, and as far as I can tell (thought receiving the certificate) the mother, Frances Mary dies in 1915, and the father John died in 1931 - both in Plymouth

I have found one of my ancestors in the 1911 census - Frances Mary Lawrence married to John Herbert Lawrence (though he doesn't appear to use Herbert) - and it states that they had 11 children, of which 5 had died.

I have found the births of the 6 surviving children, and the birth, baptism and death of one of the unfortunate 5, but I'm at a loss as to where to go next to find the remaining 4 as the family appeared to move around quite a bit as the births so far have been: 1884 Bournemouth, 1886 Middlesex, 1888 Somerset, 1890 Yorkshire, 1892 Northumberland, 1894 Cornwall (baptised and died in London - father is down as a circus proprietor) and 1896 Devon - they had links with fairgrounds hence the travelling.

Could anyone give me some clues as to where to start please?

Thanks

Hi

I have been looking for years, but with no joy for the baptism record for a Morris Lawrence.  On all the census records he states his place of birth to be Chatham, Kent, and against his age, that should be around 1814.  His parents are Thomas Lawrence, and his mother was Mary Green. 

He had 7 siblings, but none of them were born in Chatham, 5 of them were from Norfolk, one from Middlesex and one from Wales.

If anyone is able to do a search and see if they can locate him that would be really good.

Thanks

Yes she was buried, unfortunately the only other person to ask is my gran, and she's got dementia now  :(

She lived in Perry Barr, not far from crematorium on Walsall Rd

that's one of the problems, there are many - she died at the Dudley Road hospital in Birmingham.
