Hello. We are seeking further help from Rootsweb on our LAWES/LAWS family from Andover area in Hampshire. We have had vauable help regarding Jacob Laws and his family who emigrated from Andover to Mitchegan but now need help in looking for his brother LLOYD LAWS. hE WAS BAPTISED IN mARCH 1819 . His parents were John and Hannah Laws nee Witts. Lloyd was on 1841 census with parents and sister Emma in Hampshire. He then disapppears for over 40 years until he appears on Andover 1891 census in Hampshire with an Elizabeth Stockwell and also Sarah and Harry Stockwell. This is in New Street Andover where coincidentally Jacob and Lucy Laws lived on 1851 census  before emigrating. We have looked all over for Lloyd in these lost years and wondered if he too emigrated. All help appreciated as before. On 1891 census he was down as a widower so therefore he married at some time but where. We could not find a marriage.  Thanks in advance.

Hello Sandra. I  now think I may have the wrong Bond family as I found a marriage between  an Annie E Scouls aged only 15 and John W Bond. Her father is down as Scouls. The marriage was on Familysearch. So I will have to rethink what the connection was. Whoever gave info for the Elizabeth Bond death cert must have had info that Jacob Laws was her father. Gets complicated doesnt it. You think you have it and then its blown apart.  I shall carry on searching.  Thanks anyway for your help. I will have a look at the George Laws who was son of Jacob for his descendants.

THANKYOU so very much Sandra. It would have taken me ages to find all this. the surname of Elizabth Bond is a bit worrying but she may have been married before. I found her death info which states her father was Jacob Laws.   The only missing death is for JACOB LAWS. It shows up on Ancestry in Mitchegan deaths but I dont have access to site.

thank you for the reply.    Charlotte was indeed married to Andrew Antonio but he died in 1903 in hospital and she was not the informant to his death.
. Somewhere on the Newspapers archive there is a report stating that Charlotte was attacked by a man and she broke hger leg. It may have been because her husband was of West Indian birth. I cannot find my copy of this report at the moment. I believe Charlotte may have lied about her age and made herself younger. I have her dob as 1858 era in Ely Cambs. Thats where all her family came from. I too saw the comment of no family which was not true. Her brother my grandad lived in Poplar London but I do not know if he knew where she was. I have not found her death yet but maybe she was incorrectly listed.  I was hoping that there are records of Ladywell lodge to see where she went after October 1909.

I am researching my Austin/Austen family from kent. I have traced them back with problems to Bilsington Kent. I have Thomas baptised 5th Dec 1708. Son of Daniel and Thomasin or Tamsin BUT cannot find a marriage anywhere for his parents.   There are connection later on to Adlington which is nearby. where do I look next please.   many thanks for any help received.  .
