Do hope some good folk on this list can point me in the right direction. This is my biggest brick wall. I have long been looking for the parents of Annie Lawrence, born circa 1858. Annie married Frederick Fearn in the early 1870's and lived in Camden New Jersey. She had her first son when she was 16 in Pennsylvania and died in childbirth in 1883. A short life. Her father was from Pennsylvania and her mother, a Mrs Lawrence, lived there in the 1880's. She took in one of the children after Annie died.He later ran away. Frederick remarried. And that is all I have! I haven't been able to find any marriage in New Jersey, and from recent discussion it looks like a marriage in Pennsylvania will prove difficult to trace. Any help would be appreciated. Where should I head next? Beverly Fearn Porter, Columbia, MD
