I am seeking any ancestral connections to a William Lawrence born in 1787 in Herefordshire UK.

He married Anne James born in Kingsland in 1795(?)

Is anyone able and willing to help me get started on my voyage of discovery?

Thanks in advance

Start with yourself and work backwards. That’s the only way to make a connection

Have you done ANY research? If you have ,please say what you have discovered

I am new to this platform and how it functions.

Thanks for the advice.

Just working out how to post online Family Tree at present, but thought it worthwhile to see how threads actually function.

1841 census for William and family

This does NOT, however, prove any connection between you and him..........

Waterloo, Kingsland, Leominster, Herefordshire, England
William Lawrence Male 55 1786 Herefordshire, England
Ann Lawrence Female 50 1791 Herefordshire, England
Ann Lawrence Female 20 1821 Herefordshire, England

Esther Lawrence Female 7 1834 Herefordshire, England

Perhaps, at some stage, you will enlighten us as to what leads you to think you have a connection
