Hi Margaret

I have just found the girls on IGI not any boys belong to George and Mercy yet. Can I ask what is BVRI

BVRI is British Vital Records Index, a set of cd's that I purchased from LDS many years ago. I understand they are no longer for sale but the records are now on Worldwide Ancestry. The records are transcribed from parish records so quite reliable.

This looks like a son but mother's name listed as Mary:

LAWRENCE, William John Christening
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 4 Apr 1858 Recorded in: Seal, Kent, England
Father: George LAWRENCE
Mother: Mary

Hi Margaret

Thank you for the help and the info on bvri
