Here is documentation of a migration to Australia of a LAWRENCE line, from Berkshire. Richard LAWRENCE was born in Bignol, baptized in Hilmarton, Witlshire, England, in 1803. In 1828, in Bishopstone, North Wilts, he married Martha CHURCH. From 1828 to the mid-1840s, Richard farmed in Betterton East Farm, in the parish of Ardington, Berkshire. Then he moved to farm 700 acres in Upper Farm, Farnborough, Berks. Richard died after the 1861 census. Richard and Martha had issue, including: Robert Church LAWRENCE, eighth known child of Richard and Martha Lawrence, born in Betterton in 1841, baptized in Ardington, Berks, 1841. Robert LAWRENCE, gentleman, migrated to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, on the “True Briton” in Jan – March 1864. In 1866, Robert, a coachman, married Mary HARTY, widow, nee GOOLEY, at St. Mary’s Church, St. Kilda. By 1867, Robert was a police constable, in Bendigo, Victoria; later, he was a miner and then a watchman at the Great Extended Hustlers Mine, living in Bendigo. Robert, aged 79, died in Bendigo, in 1921 and he was buried in Bendigo cemetery. Robert and Mary had issue: a. Robert Phillip LAWRENCE, born 1868 in Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. In 1887, at St. Killian’s Church, Bendigo, Victoria, Robert married Ellen NAUGHTON. Robert died in a riding accident in Adelong, N.S.W., in 1896 and was buried there. Robert and Ellen had issue: b. Martha LAWRENCE, born 1870 in St. Kilda suburb of Melbourne, Australia and died in1897, in Bendigo, Victoria. Martha married Alfred George BOWE in 1895. Probably no issue. I am seeking to make contact and to share LAWRENCE family history notes, with any relation or descendant of this family, all cousins of mine. Peter Ferreira Toronto, Canada.
