Reade/Lawrence/Evans Family

[Ezbm22]

Hi Phillip,

Esther has been very much a brick wall for me. & still trying  to find information on her & her family. Not having much luck. The only stuff I have is a transcript of her death certificate & I only got that in the last week or so. & newspaper article about her accident. It wasn’t till I got Esther death certificate that I found out about her 1st husband & that Ernest & Eva had different fathers.

The death certificate say her father is John bates Lawrence & mother Mary maiden name unknown. & her father occupation as retired.
I have checked with the UK birth, Death & Marriage. & there is a birth for Esther Lawrence born Liverpool 1849 & her mother is Mary née Slater. I have not found her father listed as John bates Lawrence anywhere in the UK. But there is a death record in NZ for one & a grave 1904 aged 88. Which say his with his daughter Elizabeth. She was born Liverpool 1852. Mother née Slater.

Give the years on the death certificate. She would have gone to New Zealand in about 1864. & then to NSW in about 1884. I wouldn’t hold these years as 100% actually tho. As the certificate also says she was 55 at the time of death. Some newspapers said she was 59. & the birth record in UK says 1849. It also said her 1st marriage she was 19 & 24 for her 2nd.

I haven’t been able to find anything on Ernest or Henry her sons. I also don’t have anything on Esther 2nd husband Henry other then he worked for the New Zealand insurance company. But I have not found a birth or death for him.

My 2nd Great-Grandmother is her daughter Eva. She married Reginald Buist in NSW, 1900. They when to Western Australian. Where they had two children. Where when Esther accident happened.
