Lincs, Stickney - Lawrence

[GeoffE]

I have just found the entry on the 1881 census for St. Pancras which states she is an annuitant and authoress.

So she was!

Re Sarah being an annuitant:  I'm sure her income would have come from family wealth/income from houses etc.  As far as I know, there was no early retirement nor index-linked pension for the teaching profession in the 1870s.

Can you find her in 1871?

Someone in Oz had an interest in her several years ago

Thanks for the Oz link Geoff, I have written to him already.

Caroline Lawrence (nee Cavell), I believe, died in Essex.  On the 1891 census
she is living as a lodger with a Henry Jewson and his family.  Henry is a police inspector.

I presume after many unsettling years during her marriage to John Lawrence she returned to him, although it doesn't list him as living in the Jewson household with her.  He is now a grocer also living in West Ham, Essex, and has a woman and her young child housekeeping for him. 

Entries for Caroline show no occupation, so, once again as you pointed out, there must have been some sort of private income which maintained her and her sister.

I will check out the 1871 census.

On the 1891 census she is living as a lodger with a Henry Jewson and his family.  Henry is a police inspector.

It was 1881, he was Henry JENMAN (LDS has transcribed "JEWMAN").

His marriage has JENMAN
Marriages Jun 1873   
BONIFACE    Harriet        Shoreditch    1c   285   
JENMAN    Henry John W         Shoreditch    1c   285

There was a BONIFACE visitor in 1881 to confirm it.

1891 she was in Stickney again.

Hi Geoff

It's quite a while since I have looked at this site and have realised that I was remiss in not thanking you for all of your help in the search for Richard Lawrence of Stickney.

I just wanted to say a big thankyou.  Sorry it was so late in coming.

No problem

You may be able to look up some of these events in the registers, many of which are now online.

Indeed the 1820 burial of Richard LAWRENCE at Freiston says his place of residence was Stickney

Hi  I am Philip Stephen Lawrence a direct descendant of George Lawrence son of Richard & Isabella. I have been adding onto the Heritage site and reached the same position as you. Where was Richard from?
I think...think that many left farming during the mid 1800's to areas of better prospects  and later with the coming of the railways and docks. My great grandfather William T Lawrence are from Gravesend, Kent  and then movement to Grimsby where I am now.

 Hi

I have not been on RChat for a long while and this is the first time I have seen your reply of being a direct line of George Lawrence son of Richard and Isabel Lawrence.  My link is with John Lawrence 1811 born in Stickney.  John married a Caroline Cavi(e)ll in St Pancras in 1839 and they lived in Chapel Street, St Pancras where John had opened a Millinery/haberdashery shop.  Their first child was William Showler Cavill Lawrence 1843.  William was my grandfather's father, and, it has to be said was a scoundrel.  I have also made contact with another of the descendents of Richard's children and have seen photos of some of the members of the Lawrence children etc.  I would love to exchange info with you.

Hi guys!

I too am a descendant of Richard Lawrence and Isabella Groose of Stickney, Lincolnshire.

I am descended from their son William Lawrence and his wife Rosamond Perry and through their son George Groose Lawrence aka Henry Percy Walters.

I would love to exchange info with you guys, especially as I’ve been trying to find living relatives of Richard and Isabella.

Cheers,
- Jai
