Please can anyone help me in researching the above Richard Lawrence born in 1715 in Stow-in-Lindsey.  Richard had a son born in 1747 and this son married an Elizabeth Crowder born somewhere in Lincolnshire in 1747.  Richard and Elizabeth moved to Stickney in Lincolnshire where Richard's occupation was as a farmer.  They had 9 children all of whom were born in Stow in Lindsey.

One of these children was also called Richard Lawrence. born in 1775 in Stow in Lindsey, married an Isabella Groose in Stickney in 1803c., and  he died in 1820 age 45 in Stickney.

I would love to discover more info  about the original Richard born 1715 i.e.. who he married?, what his occupation was etc.

I am assuming that a local church would have records going back as far as 1715 and I have tried looking on a well known site, but it won't allow me back in as they keep telling me my e-mail address is already registered ( which is probably me but there is no way of explaining that to them).

Thanks for any help you can give me.

My mother-In-Law was born in 1909 in Brynmawr/Crickhowell and her parents were Maud Maria Williams and Edris Thomas who married in 1906.  On the 1911 census Maud is back living with her Williams family in Crickhowell and Edris is back with his Thomas family.  M-I-L (now deceased) told me her father fell down a mountain while drunk when she was a baby so never knew him!!!!!

I have been unable to find a death for an Edris/Idris Thomas around the time of my M-I-L's infancy, and wonder if when parents split up that was the general story they told the children.

Edris's mother was Leah (nee Jones) and father was William Thomas.

A recent connection I had with a person who was researching someone in my tree helped me look for two stumbling blocks regarding my ancestry.

I was never able to find the death of my GG Grandfather William S C Lawrence, the last known info I had on him was living in Kirby-le Soken, Essex in 1908 on Kellys Trade Records.  His partner (not married) wife Hilda (possibly not her real Christian name) was found on the 1911 Census as a confectioner living with their 4 children at an address in Kirby Le Soken on the 1911 census, was married 17 years but there was no William.

The lady who contacted me had full Ancestry membership and was able to find info on Hilda (Booth??)  >:(which showed she had been married to a William A Ross in Newington in 1879 and living with him and children on the 1881 census.  Hilda's place of birth on both the 1881 and 1911 census's was Doncaster.  She changed both her Christian and surnames  a couple of times making her difficult to find. Eventually this lady thinks that she found the deaths of both William and Hilda in 1917 and 1919 in Doncaster.  She based this info on William's initials of T C Lawrence.  It adds up that they left K-l-S and went North perhaps after their first son was killed in WW1.  Did they take their surviving children with them   Dora born 1900, Caroline Mary born 1898 both born in Kirby-le-Soken.  Also would like to know if any of Hilda's Booth ancestry have any further info on this family. I believe Hilda was from a small village outside of Doncaster. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Possible Christian for Hilda - Amelia??

Mary was born in 1902 in Pelton/Chester-le-Fell, and died in 1908 age 6.  Is there any way I can find out how she died?  Family folklore says she was run over by a horse and cart, but her mother lost so many children that it could have been one of the others that died in that tragic way.  Of her 10 children Mary Ann McDermott lost 5 as small children, then her 17 year old son was killed in France in WW1.  Four sons survived.  Will young Mary's cause of death be on the death certificate.  Would a child's accidental death have been noted in the local papers
