I am from Cape Town in South Africa. Any Lawrences who emigrated from Ireland to South Africa? Thank you.

Lawrence

Isaac Lawrence born 1828 in Ireland, Immigration to US 10 January 1852. along with wife Anna Brady (daughter of Philip Brady and Ann Lynch of County Cavan). Isaac was the father of William J. Lawrence, the grandfather of Wayne Lawrence and Grace Verne Lawrence (m.Stierheim). Grace was the mother of Fred Stierheim and grandmother of Melody, Scott, Melinda, Mitchell and Michael Stierheim. Wayne's grandchildren still bear the surname Lawrence - Patrick and Michael. We are planning a visit to Co. Cavan as is daughter Taylor (separately on her honeymoon) and will be hoping to meet some distant cousins!
