LAWRENCE

 

Based so far on only the (rare) name being the same, the Mungo Lawrence in the first generation below may have been the same person as Mungo Laurence (son of John Laurence) who was baptised on 21 Jan 1666 at St. Mary, Carlisle, Cumberland.

 

The Harewood parish register transcription in YPRS vol. 50 give the marriage of “Joshua Lowrance & Rachil Renton” on 26 Dec 1733. However, the bridegroom’s forename was actually Joseph, as confirmed by the baptism of Elizabeth Lowrance in the Tadcaster BTs for 1778, which states that her father was “Benjamin Lowrance of Tadcaster Taylor Son of Joseph Lowrance of Wetherby Joiner by Rachel his Wife Daugr. of Samuel Renton of Lofthouse near Harewood Farmr”.
