Hi Lee There is a possible marriage in 1910 2nd Quarter, John Lawrence, Harriet Pearce, Lewisham, 1d 1598 Good luck Linda

I really am not sure. All I know the info I have on birth certificate and that my grandfather said he was placed in a boys home when he was young. He lived in Sydenham/Lewisham. Its possible he had an older brother. I have looked at many records and John may have been born in 1865 and Harriett in 1870 but thats only an guess. I know he called himself John Lawrence but when he got his birth cert in 1950 he was Henry John Lawrence. I have looked through workhouse records and tryed different spelling on Lawrence, Laurence, Lawrance, Laurance, etc.

Hi Found the family on the 1901 I think. Harriet Lawrence aged 29 b. Shirley Croydon Surrey (b. 1872) John Lawrence aged 32 b. Hampstead Norris Berks. John is a Brewer's drayman (carman) Dorothy Lawrence aged 8 Henry Lawrence aged 6 b. South Norwood James Lawrence aged 25 Brother Builder's labourer Thomas Lawrence aged 3 b. Croydon living at 29 Keens Rd. Croydon Is this the right family?

John Lawrence occupation is labourer. The address reads Harriett Lawrence formally Pearce of 18 Greenwood Grove Catford Hill. Henry John Lawrence was born at the Lewisham Union Infirmiry

Hi Lee, What is the address on the birth certificate and John's occupation? Fiona.

My grandfather Henry John Lawrence was born 8/12/1899 in Lewisham to parents John Lawrence and Harriett Lawrence (maiden name Pearce). I have this info from original birth certificate. I cannot find any marriage record for John and Harriett or the family on the 1901 census. Any help appreciated.
