Lawrence Edwin Montgomerie
desparet
My wife and I were touring South Australia in Sept 2014 and we were in a town called Beechworth. At a Hotel that night we had a meal and as we were leaving I noticed on the wall that Lawrence Edwin MONTGOMERIE and wife Agnes MONTGOMERIE were the owners of that hotel in the 1920. He died Dec 1920 and Margaret M MONTGOMERIE was the new owner.
Can anyone help me trace Lawrence back to William King MONTGOMERIE who was deported from Scotland in 1828 to Van Dieman Land where he married Jessie AINSLIE. When William died Jessie took the children to the main land ( Victoria )

James Lawrence Edwin Sleight, did he change is name to Lawrence Edwin Montgomerie after his mothers marriage or did he die, and Agnes marry a Lawrence Edwin Montgomerie.
Not conclusive but might be worth investigating further.
