Lawrence family in Gloucester, UK

[Mickytom]

Hi all

Have been going around in circles with this one for a few days, so could maybe do with a nudge in the right direction. Trying to research the family of a Rosina May LAWRENCE, who I had been informed originated from Ireland. I now have her definitely, however, in Gloucester, via her marriage record to a Thomas KEELING, dated 7 December 1912, and her birth record, in St Mark's parish, Kingsholm, Gloucester (specifically Counsel Street), to a William and Fanny Maria LAWRENCE in 1893. I also have her, as Roseana LAWRENCE, aged 7, with the rest of her family, again at 6 Counsel Street, on the 1901 census, and the rest of her family, again seemingly at the same address, on the 1891 census, obviously pre-her birth. Mother's family all seem to be Gloucester-born, but father William Lawrence seems to hail from Marlborough, Wilts; no sign as yet of an Irish connection. Bit stuck now. Any takers?

Hi

Can you include some birthyears/birthplaces for other members of the family to help us with the 1891

Could this be them 
William Lawrence married Fanny Maria Smith 3 August 1879
William was age 20 his father was George Lawrence
Fanny was age 18 her father was George Smith
They married at St James, Gloucester

Thanks, both. In case it helps further, 1891:

William Lawrence, 32, Marlborough
Fanny Lawrence, 29
Elizabeth A, 9
Martha (I think), 7
Harriet, 5
Mary R, 2
Walter, 3 months      All Glos

Perhaps herein lies the answer

who I had been informed originated from Ireland.

I think you have been misinformed don't you?

I just saw your 2015 post. My great grandfather was William Lawrence. Married to Fannie Maria. My grandmother was one of their daughters born in 1897, I think.
