Lawrence Surname
I am looking for anyone with a connection to the LAWRENCE surname from ENGLAND who immigrated to NEWFOUNDLAND (CANADA)in the 1800s. In particular, my grandfather (Joseph Lawrence, b. ABT. 1855-1862) who married - Sarah BRIEN, b. Oct 1864 in/near DUBLIN, Ireland. They settled in ISLE-AUX-MORTS, NEWFOUNDLAND and had 7 children, the youngest being my father (Arthur Lawrence, b. 1911, d. 1975). I have traced a number of the Lawrence surnames of Newfoundland, but have hit a brick wall trying to link my grandfather (Joseph) to any of them. The surname was spelled a number of different ways back in those days, i.e. Laurence, Lawerence, Lawrance, etc. Any info/help would be greatly appreciated.
