The family lived on the southern edge of The New Forest, near Lymington.  His father, Charles, was an Ag. lab. and later a fisherman.

The older brother Charles had the middle name Samuel.  In the 1861 he is called Samuel - I presume to so he wouldn't be confused with his father and to save even more confusion Samuel was called Lorenzo. ::)

I have not found any other Lorenzos around.

Wonder if the English fisherman met a foreign fisherman?

Not a mis-read name is it?

He's Samuel Lorenzo in the parish register but transcribed as Lorenza on the 1861 census.

I suspect he will remain one of life's puzzles.

Dolly my great great grandfather was Gaius and I have to confess I really like the name now.  :)

I came across Retornes today (girl), very odd name!
