Donald Lawrence

[gribbin]

Hello, Could you please look for the birth of Donald Lawrence, father James Britton Lawrence, mother Verna? born about 1928. We think he served in the airforce during WW2.  Also could you find the marriage of his parents. James Britton Lawrence was born in Plymouth. Devon.  in 1900. They lived in London, Ontario.

Welcome to Rootschat. It can be difficult to find 'recent' information but details of living, or possibly living, people shouldn't be posted here.
If the family went to Canada before 1911 you can look at 1911 census (and 1901 and1906 as well) at www.automatedgenealogy.com.
Were James and Verna married in Canada or England or elsewhere? You can use Ancestry to narrow down results if you have uncommon names but although you can't see the actual records it does often help find where they might be or what to search next.

Hi Thanks for your reply. Donald and Verna were married in Canada.  My great grandparents and their two sons emigrated from Falmouth around 1921/3. My great grandmother went to work at Queen Alexandra Sanitorium in London Ontario. But after my grandmother died in 1949 in Plymouth, Devon the family lost touch.I realise now information on living people can't be displayed.

 - there is a James B. Lawrence indexed here at Mt Pleasant Cemetery, London.
You can write to the  London-Middlesex Branch, OGS to ask for further details. If this does turn out to be the right James, they could probably also help you find an obituary for him.

Here are some links for volunteers in the area as well. You should look for people in the "Middlesex" London area.
