Hi All I'm ne to this list and looking for help, I have very little information so I will start with what I have. My grt grandfather Edward Samuel James LAWRANCE was b. in abt 1867 m. Alice Emily MABSON 1898 in Fulham son Robert Edward b. 1899 son Arthur James b. abt 1910 d. Dec. 6/1926 at age 16. Edward, Alice and Robert immigrated to Canada in abt 1905 (States on Alice's death certificate in Canada 34 yr. in British Columbia 28 yr.) Alice d. Sept. 30/1939. I have not been able to find them on a ships passenger list so not certain where they arrive on entry to Canada, or where they live the 6 years before coming to BC. I also know Edward had a sister named Emma Jane LAWRENCE b. abt. 1860 married Alfred Thomas PRESSLAND in 1886 they meet when he was studying at Cambridge but from what I can gather from the PRESSLAND side of my family is the have always lived in Surrey. Also from their records I have be told that Emma and Edward's father was the chief of the coastguards for East Anglia, which now brings me to my big question is there any way to find out what his name may be because all I know for certain is his surname is LAWR(A)ENCE. Thanks in advance for your time, if any one has any suggestions please contact me. Theresa
