There is an Arthur W. Lawrence.

I looked for someone with a similar occupation.

Thank you for your efforts harribobs.

Hi Janice

I haven't used Freecan yet.  I will have a look.  An overseas birth might fit in terms of how hard he is to find!

Could the name Day have been his Mothers Surname?
I have quite a few ancestors from that era named in that way.
It has often helped me track them down.
Good luck

Hi Irene

That was my initial thought too, but cannot find a marriage that fits :(
