Mensforth and Laurence (Lawrence)
« on: Tuesday 16 May 17 23:01 BST (UK) »
I am try to trace more information re:

Albert Francis Cavalry Laurence (Lawrence) and his wife Ellen Mensforth....  they are married in 1893 in the district of Adelaide (unsure of the exact date)....

Ellen's father is recorded as Edward Mensforth and given the info on trove for his obituary I believe Mrs. F. Lawrence of Cowandilla would be Ellen

http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/130254736?searchTerm=edward%20mensforth&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia

I have noted there is other research about the Mensworth family on Roots but found it a little confusing but no mention of Ellen....

Albert's father is William Charles Laurence (Lawrence) and Albert's death is in 1951 in district of Norwood.... 

I am wondering Ellen and Albert are born in England as I can't find a birth for either in South Australia or a death for Ellen

SAGenealogy's bdm's indexes have limited information.  One has to pay to find more unless you are a member.
http://www.genealogysa.org.au/resources/online-databases.html

From my resource
LAURENCE Albert Francis Cavalry  22 years  Status Single  Father William Charles LAURENCE
MENSFORTH Ellen  18 years  Status Single  Father Edward MENSFORTH
25 Oct 1893
At St Luke Church [Adelaide]   Ade Symbol V  177/350

Symbol V
A variation exists in the spelling or interpretation of the names:
·   A slight difference in the spelling of the given or surname between
·   The Registrar's and the Bride and Groom's version. The bride and
·   Grooms spelling is preferred where it is clearly written.
·   The Regisrtar has recorded two versions.
·   Due to poor handwriting different interpretations of names are possible.
