Morning Geoff. My father John William Lawry, born in Melbourne Victoria Australia in 1912married Gladys (1 child a son deceased)about 1934 and divorced her in 1946 married my mother Edith Ethel Louise Bridges in Singapore 1952 (1 child a son born 1955-me!)
My father said that he had some siblings but only ever mentioned his sister Karla or Kyla. He described his father as a pugilist and I know he had an unhappy childhood. He did a mechanics apprenticeship for the Ford Motor Company. He has mentioned either his father or his grandfather as being called Arthur Edmund and that the grandfather or great grandfather was a ship's captain and that he had been born aboard a ship in Calcutta.
That's all I know but would love to hear more.
Jay Lawry
