Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Charles and William Lawrence

It took me some time to locate this Charles as on Ancestry.co.uk he was noted as Charles Lammer.
Anyway he could well be the one so thanks for that.
I will need to get  a copy of his birth certificate, there is a note of a Charles Lawrence born 1838
Eastry Mar 1838.
Will probably take a chance on that.
Wonder what the "Lock Up Station' was.
Thanks again
Martin

avm228,

Thanks for reply.
It is no wonder that I am not very good at this.

I was staring at the Marriage Certificate yesterday and still managed to put down a date as 1854.

It is indeed 1877.
In fact 18th September 1877, the parish church Gt Mongeham. Charles's age is noted as 43, job labourer, wife Elizabeth Hammond (38) born Gardiner, she is/was a Hawker.
However he and his wife both signed with a mark so how reliable age's are I don't know.

William's job listed as Labourer.

Have looked on the 1841 census and noted 3 possible William's all agricultural labourers.
The key must be to see a parish record for Charles if one exists.

My Grandpa Charles born 1880 later lived in Buckland and worked at the Wiggins Teape papermill.


Thanks again,
Martin

Kent Lookup Requests / Charles and William Lawrence
« on: Thursday 06 February 14 22:39 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking to establish the parentage of Charles Lawrence born about 1834 in Kent.
He would be my GreatGrandfather.
On 1881 and 1891 census he is noted as from Deal working as an agricultural labourer.

At time of marriage to Elizabeth Hammond (born Gardiner) in Gt Mongeham 1854 his father is noted as William Lawrence.
Have looked through all the census returns but prior to seeing the marriage certificate I went down a different route looking at a Stephen Lawrence which must have been incorrect.

There are a couple of Charles' on 1841 census return but none with a father called William.
Any suggestions or help appreciated.

Thanks, Martin

Thanks Panda,
It really does look like I have been following the wrong Lawrence although his age does seem to be +- 2 or 3 years on every census.
How did you get the William Lawrence married to Mary Ann Barwick, from Church of LDS?
William's father on the site looks like a John Lawrence (with various spellings).

Hello CarolW,
There is a Charles Lawrence on the 1851 census aged 14 living in Deal, parents Stephen and Mary at 4 Silver Street, Deal. I had that as one of my reference points to the Stephen Lawrence line.
Also the Navy one on 1861 census. In 1871 he is 34 unmarried still living with parents Stephen and Mary.
On the GRO certificate he is a bachelor 43 married to Elizabeth Hammond 38 (widowed) previously Gardner.
As I said William Lawrence as his father on the certificate has thrown me off track.
I can only assume that the Charles I have been following on 1841/51/61/71 is the wrong Charles for my line or the William named as father on the GRO certificate is a) not his dad b) forgotten his name was Stephen, c) was mad or d) had done it for a bet.

So frustrating this ancestry lark.
Martin

Thanks, yes this is what has confused me.
Do you or anyone know how I would access the Parish Records for the Parish Church at Gt Mongeham?

Hello Michelle,
Hope you are still on the site.
If so could you send me a photo of your father or grandfather I would be interested to see if there is any resemblance.

Hello All,
Some time ago I had some help regarding the Lawrence's in Dover/Deal.
I have recently obtained a copy marriage certificate which has thrown my believed  line awry.
On the eighteenth of September 1877 my Gt Grandfather Charles (43 - labourer) married Elizabeth Hammond (previously Gardner) at the parish church of Gt Mongeham.

Fathers name is written as William Lawrence.

Prior to having this document I had believed that Charles's father name was Stephen married to Mary Ann Seath about 1830 and I had followed that line.
I have details of Census records for Stephen and Charles from 1841 onwards but the spanner thrown into the works has derailed me which a decent sized spanner might well do. And how do you pronounce Mongeham?

Thanks, Martin

My Grandfather Alfred Gee, then his daughters Annie May, Ethel & Amy Gee - although I know that Ethel is in the middle of the three but I am not sure which is which of the other two.  I don't know who the lady is giving the child an apple, might be my Grandmother, I never met them.
