Looking for Lawrence around the Dunedin, NZ area
Dorro
My grandfather, William Lawrence, emigrated to Port Chalmers on the 'Oamaru' in 1879. He married Christina Johnson and they had a son and 4 daughters. She died and grandfather married Helen Mills, my grandmother.
I am having trouble finding the first family, and also what happened to some of the other family.
Any advice, please.
