Hello Karen,

I have noticed that you are interested in the name of Lawrence from Fontmell
Magna, and I may be able to help you as I have some information on the
Lawrence families in Fontmell Magna.

The name was quite common and when we were there a few years ago we visited
a family that was still living there.

Let me know if I can help.

Regards

Don Roberts, NSW, Australia
