Hi Jeff, and welcome to RootsChat,
Because of your other posting re birth of William Lawrence in the Clun reg district I thought this was a likely candidate ...
Abley, Clunbury
Ernest Lawrence, head, 24, carpenter, Clunbury
Helen Lawrence, wife, 24, Docklow, Hereford
William Lawrence, 2, Clunbury
... but he turns out to be William Ernest, not Joseph.
Births: June q 1899, Clun, Montgomeryshire/Shropshire, 6a/608
LAWRENCE, William Ernest
Marriages Dec q 1897, S. Stoneham, Hampshire, 2c/177
LAWRENCE, Joseph
LIGHT, Alice Esther
Births December q 1899, S. Stoneham, Hampshire, 2c/50
William Joseph LAWRENCE
Births June q 1873, S. Stoneham, Hampshire, 2c/40
Alice Esther LIGHT
1881
Copperhill Tce, Hamble
Elizabeth Light, 41, mariner’s widow,
Alice Light, 7
Kathleen, 3
Edward, 10 mos
All born Hamble, Hampshire
1901
37 Victoria Rd, St Edwards, Hampshire
Alice Lawrence, mar, 27, shirt maker, Hamble
Joseph, 1, Hound
Elizabeth Light, mother, wid, 61, Hamble
I can't find Joseph in 1901, though he would appear to still be alive.
There are various Lawrences connected to Clunbury. Is this where you think your Joseph came from?
Cheers,
Ros
