During his life, he was living in Preston, Kent in 1841 (i don't know if this is this same William Lawrence. But given that both of his parents died when he was 6 this is possible since at age 14 he's not with an adult. But if that is him, where was he between the ages of 6 and 14?); at St Lawrence in 18612; at Chapel Lane, St Lawrence, Thanet on Apr 7, 186110; at Rear of Southwood Lodge, St Lawrence, Thanet on Apr 2, 18719; and at 3 Providence Cottage, St Lawrence, Thanet on Apr 5, 18914.
