William Lawrence - Parents of William Lawrence

If "The Magna charta barons ... is correct then Edmund Lawrence, of Withington would be the grandfather of William Lawrence, Jr. who married Katherine Lawrence

Also Edmund Lawrence, of Withington father William Lawrence, of Withington husband of Isabel Lawrence would be the son of Robert Lawrence, of Ashton and his wife Margaret Lawrence

The birth dates for Margery Lawrence , her parents, and children Thomas, Robert, Edmund need to be looked into as these children were born before the mother Margery and she before her parents.

Thanks, Carole, I just saw this. I will try and look into it.

Carole, I was just reading the "Bentlemen Magazine, Vol 85, Part 2 I think on page 13 here was the long URL William Lawrence, Esq., of St. Ives as exerpted by Google Books
http://books.google.com/books?id=ZAQ5gFfHyOwC&pg=PA13&lpg=P...

this says that William was the son of William of Ives, the sheriff, but not of his second wife, Margaret Kaye as I believe Geni has, but of his first wife who we've listed, Fransis Honston. It then goes on to say that Margaret Kaye is the daughter of Edward Kay and that Margaret Kaye is the sister of Robert Kaye, and there is more information also. Maybe this helps with the Kaye/Lawrence problem.

On the site http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1509-1558/member/la... the history of Parliament is says that the father of Francis Honston is "either Henry or Richard Honston". That is all I have found out about her at the moment.

Thank you Sandra for the links to the references, I will place the information on the Profiles.

But these still do not tell if William Lawrence who married Frances Honston/Hunston & Margaret/Margery Kaye was the father of the William Lawrence who married Katherine Beaumont.

OK, I'll go back to the drawing board. I thought they did say link the two Williams but maybe not.

Gentleman's Magazine mentions a son William Lawrence who settled at Selscomb in Sussex, ancestor of the Lawrences of Chichester and Aldingbourn. Does not sound like the William of St Albans, Hertfordshire, England who had wife Katherine/Catherine Beaumont.

History of Parliament only mentions by name his eldest son Henry Lawrence.
