Thanks Jiim, this is the right Jonathan later on he is John, but i have records of mary ann and her will with john leaving his shop to her in his will.  Williams trail for another day. 

I have his shop in trade directories too, but would just love to be able to find his brothers and sisters etc.  Marriage record doesnt show father like it did in later records so my brickwall i suppose,

I will keep trying to knock it down  ;)

Thanks, for the links  :)  Yes I like to look at how our ancestors lived, the clothes they wore etc.  There is a fab show on BBC2 at the mo called filthy cities, glad I'm a 21st century girl.

I often wonder now in the age of documents, etc what we will leave behind for our future to find, a lot more than our lot eh!!

Thanks again

Hi

I have been tracing my tree for some time now and have quite an extensive tree.  How do you take it back further than 1841 census?

I would really like to try and find more info on my g x4 grandfather - Jonathan Lawrence b 1799 Walworth Surry, have lots of info on him but no parents, brothers and sisters are not 100%

Can anyone help or point me in the direction of where i would find his birth records etc

I am subscribed to the usual tools that we use, but not found much there

Many thanks  :)

Hi
Yes I know George was married twice, 2nd marriage to an Eliza Florey is this correct?

I have traced the family back to 1799-John Lawrence, and have just sent for a copy of his wife Mary Ann Will.

Richard Green was an optician if I'm correct, would love to see the will once we can pm each other
Best regards x

sorry
not Gdad x4, my x3 Gdad is George's brother Thomas Lawrence,

I get confused as I have more like a forest than a tree!

Occupation Interests / Photographic Agent 1891

Hi All

Back again with another query. 

Found Great Aunt's(x 3) husband -Richard Green b 1858c, Bethanal Green Middlesex  He is listed as photographic agent on 1891 census, family living in Edmonton.

Am I right in thinking that he would be the one who would perhaps take orders for the photographer or is that a posh name for camera man!

How could I find out who he worked for etc

Not sure what happens but he changed jobs as in 1901 he is now an optician.

Anyways any pointers to find him when he worked in first job would be great

Thanks in advance

Sarah  :)

Hi

All my family date back to 1766 as Shoe Makers, Cordwainers, and all trades related to shoemaking.

I have traced my family and lots of branches and  most were still Shoemakers in 1901.  If you would like details please pm me

Sarah
