Find Ancestors

I am seeking any ancestral connections to a William Lawrence born in 1787 in Herefordshire UK.

He married Anne James born in Kingsland in 1795(?)

Is anyone able and willing to help me get started on my voyage of discovery?

Thanks in advance

Start with yourself and work backwards. That’s the only way to make a connection

Have you done ANY research? If you have ,please say what you have discovered

KathlenBell has added to the post on General.

I am new to this platform and how it functions.

Thanks for the advice.

Just working out how to post online Family Tree at present, but thought it worthwhile to see how threads actually function.

1841 census for William and family

This does NOT, however, prove any connection between you and him..........

Perhaps, at some stage, you will enlighten us as to what leads you to think you have a connection
