Lottee,

Have you seen the UK Incoming Passenger List, on Ancestry? There is a 'Victor James Lawrence' listed therein - I know it is not a piece of the military puzzle, but thought it might be of interest if you hadn't seen it.

Date: 12th August 1924
Name: Victor James Lawrence (b. circa 1898)
Occupation: Merchant's Assistant
Address: 24, Richmond (Terrace?), Meston Road, Wandsworth.
Ship: ZARIA
Port of Embarkation: Calabar, Nigeria
Port of Arrival: Liverpool


Regards,

Peter

Thanks Peter, yes I have. It is one of 5 arrivals into Liverpool. When I first found it I was over the moon. My father knew that he had worked there but had no idea that he had been out there 5 times so great excitment.

Just saw your earlier message, would never have put the name together with its historical value, must remember that in future.

Lottee,

Yes, I also saw the Victor JUBILEE Lawrence - obviously named after QV's Golden Jubilee in the year of his birth (1887).

funny, I have been doing his family for one of his descendants and I told her when she was laughing at what she thought was a really weird middle name, without my even knowing his birth year, that he must have been born the year of one of Victoria's Jubilees; she had both Golden and Diamond.

That's amazing, shame there's no connection.
