I do have the marriage certificate of Gilbert Lawrence & Emily Jackman.

It says:

I cannot scan certificates until we get more RAM. This marriage certificate is very clear.

I did get an e-mail from Grant Ruske stating:

Henry Lawrence had 7 children

David b. 1847

Mary b. 1849

Andrew b. 1851

William b. 1856

Gilbert b. 1859

Elizabeth Jane b. 1860

Jacob b. 1862

Above taken from 1861 Census, with exception of Jacob which is from the 1871 Census.

I guess you have noticed Gilbert Lawrence gave Jane Turner as his mother on his marriage certificate. Where did Irene come from?????
