Hi,
I am also a descendant of Henry Lawrence 1849 married to Sarah Ann Smith (one descendant of very many!). Descended through the youngest son of his first marriage (Henry Jnr 1874-1933). Are you a descendant of his elder brother William Samuel (1872-1937) who married Clara Norris (1873-1955)? If so, I believe William was in the Dorset regiment (no. 3798), you might want to validate that. I have a copy of Mary's entry of marriage to Albert Little in 1915. I know Wootton Bassett well as I spent many a holiday visiting my Nana in Bassett which involved many trips to tidy graves in the cemetery and visiting very elderly great aunts and uncles! I'd love to know more about Mary's diary.
