Hello Mike & Lori...
Thank you for your reply.
My Lawrences start off with George born 1771 West Chinnock (but I have a
notation that this may not be correct). The only information on his marriage
is that her name was Tamar or Mary Tarnah - also born West Chinnock. The
only certainty is that they had a child Thomas John born 1795 St. Giles,
Cambridge who died 31/5/1836 in Cambridge. He was a baker St. Peters Parish
Cambridge. I have Batch M130601 Dates 1599-1837 Call No. 496702 Type - Film

This Thomas John Lawrence is my direct line as he married Mary Leaford
Shuker and descends down to me.
I would like to find out more about the parents of Thomas if you have any
information on them please.
Incidentally my mother and aunts always stated that Henry Montgomery
Lawrence and his family were directly descended, but I have never found any
indication of this. John Laird Maier Lawrence, his brother was born in
Yorkshire but that is all I now.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
