I am trying to find a family connection of a Hall LAING (who married Jane GUTHERY (various spellings)), as I suspect that Hall may be related to the LAING shipbuilding families as below: In the1824 Baines Liverpool Name Directory, were the following two entries: Laing John & Philip & Co. ship builders & smiths, 2, Gower st. Laing Philip, ship builder, &c.;  4, South Hunter street In the 1825 Liverpool Street Directory with Residents, were the following entries: GOWER STREET, 1, Cornhill. No 2 - Laing J. & P. and Co. HUNTER ST. South. 2, Hardman street. No 4 - Laing Philip Is anyone researching these shipbuilders, who might be able to assist me? TIA Edward R Paxton
