Re: Edward Lawrence
I too have not been able to find him in 1841 so far. I would suspect him to be in Kensington, as he remained there until his death...

Re: Edward Lawrence
Hi Paul - Do you have Edward in the 1841 and 1851 census reports? I'm not seeing him yet. Were there any children from the first marriage? (Hence asking about the 1841 census). Also, what was his occupation when he remarried in 1838? I note he was a plumber and painter in the 1861 census. Just tryin...

Re: Howlette
Not seeing anything specific for a Richard Howlette as Rector or Vicar. There was a Reverend John Howlette (1732-1820). His burial record gives his residence as Foleshill. Burial place: Bedworth. This might be Rev John? https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/c0626d7f-2107-4c28-b70c-f320...

Re: Ann Brenning, my 5th great grandmother
The Macey children had non-conformist baptisms. Perhaps Ann was from a non-conformist family, in which baptisms for them aren't available online?
