I am trying to make contact with any relatives descending from my Gt Uncles Robert Henry 1887-1975(Bobbie) and Frederick1889-? (Fred) Lawrence, both of whom were born in Millom Cumberland.
Bobbie left England in Jan 1909 on board SS Medic and settled in the Johannesburg area. He married twice; do not know his first wife's name but I believe they had a son Robert and daughter Daphne. His second wife was called Flossie ? and they had three sons - Ted b1943c, Fred b1945c and Frank b1948c.
Bobbie died 14 November 1975, Flossie died 15 May 1976.
Ted's wife's May ? and they have a daughter Carol Anne Lawrence b1966c. Last known address in 1976 Port Road, Robertsham, Jo'burg.
Fred's wife's Sandra/ Sandie and they have a son Clinton Lawrence b 1974c. Last known address in 1976 Pelham Road, Crown Gardens, ??? SA
Frank died 1965c in a motorcar/bike accident.
If anyone knows of these families and can help me find my cousins in South Africa, I shall be very grateful.
Thanking you in anticipation, Gillian
