Hi Togs,
I am not sure if it is the same lawrence as I am sure I have some info somewhere in my files re- Lawerence who was in the merchant navy. His parents weren't Lawrence and Charlotte if my memory is correct.
Unfortunately I am going to Silverstone for the weekend so I will look it out next week.
My Lawerence's parents are the ones you have mentioned he was the eldest of 12.
They are Charlotte, George, Richard,James, David, William, Wilhelmina ( who was my mother), Isobel, Gordon, Francis and Alexander.
My Pearsons of moneydie topic is further down the main topics page which has had just over 2000 hits.
I will get back in touch next week.
Charlie.
