Note*

Other information; There was also a John LAWRENCE baptised in Mere in 1765, son of Timothy, and one in 1774, son of William of Gillingham. I have allocated this John LAWRENCE as the one who was baptised in 1769, son of James because:
(1) The age matches exactly with an age of 25 years at first marriage (although it does not precisely match his age given at burial); and
(2) This makes him a brother of Aaron LAWRENCE, who married Sarah WRIGHT. The two WRIGHT women (Juliet and Sarah) were sisters.
