very little mention of Edward
Edward was buried Block 3, Row 6 20 Jan 1939, Feilding cemetery as Laurence
His Obituary read:
Manawatu Standard, 21 Jan 1939 Mr EDWARD E. LAWRENCE The death of Mr Edward Ernest Lawrence, of Feilding, occurred suddenly yesterday morning, at the age of 78 years. The deceased gentleman, who had complained of pains in his chest, was walking along the footpath in Bailey Street, Feilding, in company with a friend when he apparently suffered a heart attack and collapsed. He passed away almost immediately, before medical aid could be summoned. Born in England, Mr Lawrence came to New Zealand many years ago and at various times was engaged in farming activities at Taonui, Coal Creek and Rewa prior to coming to Feilding to live in retirement. Mrs Lawrence predeceased her husband some years ago. Deceased leaves four sons and two daughters - Messrs Stanley Lawrence (Wanganui), Victor Lawrence (Feilding), Roy Lawrence (Martinborough), Ralph Lawrence (Rangiwahia) and Mesdames J. Stewart and Shirley (Feilding). The funeral took place today at the Feilding Cemetery.
THANKYOU so much! but- also- do you know that Amy was married (not confirmed) to James Montague Lorigan, before she was with Edward, and that they had 2 children together? this is what is so confusing!!! Doesn't really make sense?
This is one of their sons....GILBERT LEWIS Lawrence AKA: Gilbert Samson Lorigan Lawrence born: 12 Feb 1884 parents: James Montague LORIGAN & Amy LEWIS occupation: Farmer married: Edith Mary Bush in 1905 lived at: 300 Boundary Rd died: 5 May 1936 aged 53 (the month before Mary) buried: Plot 64, Block 5, Area C at Kelvin Grove with Edith Mary
Thankyou SO much for that information. Although we have the info on the children etc, we did not have Edward's about his death and the date Amy and James were married. I shall hope and look out if you come up with anything else and I appreciate you help very much. Cheers, Sandy
