Bertram Charles Lawrence

[thedivinemrsjones]

Hi there everyone,

My family have several missing links, one of whom is an uncle, Bertram Charles Lawrence, Uncle Bert.

I have looked on Ancestry and found a record for a Bertram Charles Lawrence dying in Luton in 1993, aged about 86 years of age, this could be him, but I do need to confirm this.  Uncle Bert was my late fathers youngest brother and I have not seen him since my fathers funeral in 1970.  I gather from other family members that he had at least 2 children, a boy and a girl, and we think that they were called Arthur and Romane (or Romain)  not too sure about the spelling.

Uncle Bert was born November 1910 in Chester, Cheshire.  According to Ancestry, the Bertram Charles that I uncovered was born November 1907, but as we all find out whilst researching our family history, exaggerations about age are not unknown.

If some kind soul could assist, I would be very grateful.  I did wonder if there might have been an obituary in a local Luton newspaper that might give details of Uncle Bert's family.

Thank you in anticipation

Regards

The Divine Mrs J

Hi Mrs Jones

Have you tried Genes Reunited ?
There are 2 contacts, Richard & Denise, that have a Bertram Charles Lawrence b 1911 Chester in their trees.

Unless one of them is you

Hi there,

Yes, I am the Denise that submitted the GenesReunited request for Bertram Charles Lawrence, and Richard is my cousin....we are both researching the Lawrence clan.

Thank you very much for your response anyway, it was very kind of you to go to all that trouble.

Regards

Dear Mrs J

I think you will need to get clever to run your Uncle Bert to earth...

First, put in a message at the 'Missing You' site which is free ...and perhaps someone may see it who has knowledge of the family.

Secondly, do get write a letter to the local paper [I found a War comrade of my Dad's after 60 years through a local paper] & if you have a photo of Uncle Bert, so much the better.
