Hi Jan,

Just found this on Ancestry, Lawrence Ellison Porter married on the 14th May 1820 to Judith Clayton. At St John, Manchester, Lancs. FHL File No 1545637. Both of this parish. Married by banns. Witness looks like William Seetdon he signed with an X. Hard to read his handwriting.

Also found Maria Ellison bap 12 Aug 1836 to Lawrence Ellison and Judith. Portsmouth
Harriet Ellison bap 7th Feb 1830 Manchester. St Marys, St Denys and St George to Lawrence Ellison and Judith. He was a Private - Soldier
In 1911 Harriet was living in Manchester 81 yrs old Single born Manchester.

Found other children born to Lawrence and Judith but unfortunately no date of birth.
Elizabeth, Sarah, James and I think a Lawrence.
When I get time I will look some more for you.
Hope any of this helps.
Did you send for Lawrence death certificate because there is another Lawrence living in Portsea, I wondered about Judith living in a workhouse in 1841, without Lawrence. Maybe there is another death for Lawrence.

Cheers.
Jan

Jan,
Hi thanks for that, yes all you have researched is our family.  I do have a death certificate for Lawrence Ellison who died at Portsea.    I am not at home at the moment, and need to confirm the details on Lawrence's death certificate.   You are saying that there is another one that died there.

Will be in contact in a few days to give you more details on that.     We do think we have the right one though.
