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

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?

My Lawrences hail from Great Hormead. Over the years I have made several attempts to connect all the Lawrences from the local villages, FP, Braughing etc but without a great deal of success. There is a theory that all these Lawrences go back to Randall Lawrence and perhaps St Albans but in my mind there is not enough data available to prove this one way or the other.
