Lawrence Family History? 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Hello all in the lovely Pelhams!

Does anyone know of the Lawrence family history around the Pelhams? My mother was a Lawrence (still have an uncle in F Pelham), and would be grateful of any info!
I have traced that they live in Washall Green (a long time back, and were farm hands mainly.

Thanks in advance if you can help.

Regards,

Simon

Re:Lawrence Family History? 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago  
I remember Hubert Lawrence who lived with his sister at Weasle Cottage, Washall Green. He was a batchelor who worked on the farm here all his life apart from his time in the army in World War 1 and as a POW after his capture on the Somme.
There were also Lawrences at Black Hall Farm (now destroyed). I was recently told that one of them, Stan I think, Had been cheated out of the Victoria Cross which he deserved. I know no futher details such as which war, I suspect WW1, nor which regiment.
Does anybody know anything more?
Ted
