I have been looking for some time now for a Henry Lawrence with no luck. The Ashtabula Co. Ohio Genealogy Society did some searching for me and have found that the name may be Albert Henry Lawrence. Here's what I know as reported to me by the ACGS and some from my own research. Albert Henry Lawrence was born in probably Erie Co. PA, May 31, 1853 to Alvin and Esther Lawrence. He is listed on the 1860 census of Erie Co. PA with these parents as A. Henry age 6yrs. Henry, (as I was referred to him by my late mother-in-law) married Orall A. (Cox) Kidd probably in PA sometime around 1898. Orall A. (Cox) Kidd Lawrence was my late husband's maternal great grandmother. Orall had been married to a Robert Kidd also from PA and had a daughter Lillian Orall Kidd born Dec 4 1888 in McKeesport PA and died in Conneaut, Ashtabula Co. OH on March 17, 1942. Shortly after Lillian was born, Orall Cox Kidd married her second husband who was Henry Lawrence, and he adopted Lillian so she went as Lillian O. Kidd Lawrence. The ACGS found a A. Henry Lawrence listed in the 1910 Ohio census living in Conneaut with Ora A. Lawrence. Henry states that he and his parents were born in PA on this census record. The Conneaut Health Dept. has a death certificate for Albert Henry Lawrence who passed away on August 19, 1935 in Conneaut, Ashtabula Co. OH but his body was taken to Erie Co. PA and buried in the Girard Cemetery beside his wife Nellie. The ACGS further found that Mr Lawrence had married Nellie Minor in 1923 which would have been 2 years after Orall's death. This marriage took place in Ashtabula Co. Ohio. If anyone out there has any connection to this family I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. It is really important to me to be able to put my daughter's ancestry together for them as they are the 5th generation from Orall Cox and as far as I can determine they are the first of those 5 generations that wasn't a single birth family. Orall Cox Kidd Lawrence, her daughter Lillian, Lillian's daughter Virginia, and Virginia's son Dale were all only children families. I can't say for sure about Orall but so far I haven't found any evidence to prove otherwise. By the way Orall was born to Andrew and Anna (Keller) Cox in Massillon, Stark Co. OH according to her death certificate. Thank you so much for any exchange of information you think might remotely connect to this Lawrence family. Mary Griffey Russell, KY
