Hi John, Chris & Terry Yes he remarried after Margaret Maud died & married Ernestene. I have a copy of his probate from Family Search. Terry also sent me a link for an add on Papers Past of him being a solicitor, which my search didn't show. Laurence may have been a law clerk & became a lawyer with the help of a Mr Jacka who was rather younger than him as he was Laurence's sponsor. My friend was wondering what he did before he died - he certainly didn't do very well as he only had about 638pound when he died - he did become very ill with anemia and finally died of it which we presume is why he gave up being a solicitor. Unfortunately there is no longer any family to ask. I asked the Law Society but they only had the date which he was inducted which I already had. Thanks for your help, Sue On Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 4:34 PM, John Wilson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sue and Chris: further to the probate entry which indicates retired > solicitor Laurence MARCHAND died intestate, the Registrar-General’s > “historic” website indicates that he died aged 63y on 27 May 1941; there > are death notices on Papers Past for 28 & 29 May giving his wife’s name as > Ernestene, plus 4 daughters.
