William Lawrence of Michelmersh

[lbj]

I'm looking for information about a William Lawrence of Michelmersh who married Jane Gaiger in Kings Somborne in 1824.  It appears she remarried a Wm. Whitlock in Lockerly in 1843 and she is shown in 1851 census w/Wm Whitlock and son James Lawrence age 14, born Michelmersh.  I don't have access to 1841 census which might show her a widow or with William Lawrence.  Any information about William Lawrence born approx. 1790s with his birth family and the children of his marriage would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Do you know when Jane was born...I did find a Jane and a William but I'm not sure if they are your lot.

Sorry about that omission.  She was born 1799.

Errr..... well not them then 

I was looking for James but couldn't find a match either so I suspect it may a transcription error..... I'll keep looking

I did find a Jane Lawrence in Michelmersh in 1841 but the writing is so difficult to decipher...

George and Jane may have been in Romsey on the 1851 census - George possibly in the union workhouse - idiot from birth -  a possible for Jane was lodging in Romsey. Arthur is likely to be Alfred on the 1851 census in Lockerley the next household to the Whitlocks. Henry may have been married and living in Mottisfont but his age was given as 24.

Probable death registration for William (the only possible registered in Romsey registration district).

Thank you both very much.  I didn't have all the children and their baptism dates.  I've been assuming that Jane married Wm. Whitlock in 1843.  In that case she would be Lockerly, Hants during the 1851 census with son, James.  Valda--did you find a baptism for Wm. Lawrence, the father, in the 1790s in Michelmersh?  I've been wondering about his family and the possible connection to Lawrences in Romsey in the 1760s.

Sorry to be so slow, but I just realized that Michelmersh baptisms were indexed on the internet at genuki.org.uk...  What I don't see is any parents' names on the index.  Does anyone on this board have access to the parish records (or transcripts) that would show the parents of the children baptised?  I'm looking specifically for:
Laurance George              05 Mar 1791
Laurence Phebe              14 Jan 1787
Laurence Anne              17 May 1789
Laurence Benjamin              12 May 1793
Laurence William              23 Feb 1794
Laurence Rebecca              13 Jun 1795
Lawrence P?(dau)              10 Jun 1797

Also, there were 2 George Lawrence bap. close together.
Lawrence George              28 Aug 1836
Lawrence George              04 Dec 1836
