Seaweed,
Many, many thanks! That's great. Having so little information on him as I do compared to other ancestors of this generation, any additional bits are always a fantastic bonus.
As regards the record in question, clearly there is only reference to one crew agreement (Jun 1836) against Lawrence's name compared to others who have many. (Surely he can't have embarked on just one six month term? )
Are there any common reasons for this? (I appreciate this a bit of an open ended question...)
Thanks again!
Paul
