Looking for Lawrence family connections.
Posted by Janet on Tuesday, 26th August 2008, 10:16
I have just discovered an ancestor of mine who was married in Northwood in 1841. Her name was Catharine Bridget Lawrence. Is there anyone in the area with this surname? I don’t know anything else about her except that she was married there, moved with her husband to Germany, and then came to the United States. She died sometime between 1848 and 1850 leaving two living children behind.
My email address is dsore10588@aol.com. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may know about this family.

I have found some additional information with some help from a very generous person there on the island.
Catherine’s parents were John and Bridget (Clement) Lawrence. She was baptized in 19 October 1823. Her parents were married there on 13 June 1810. So, it looks like they might have been there for several generations anyway.
Another generous researcher found Bridget in the 1841 census. It appears that Catherine had at least two siblings, Emma and William. It looks like William married a woman named Eliza.
Hopefully some of this will begin to look familiar to someone.

Thank you. I’ll do that. I’m not sure I know enough information about the family yet to know who might connect in but I will look and save whatever is there for future use.
