Sir William Lawrence, 1st Baronet

No, I think you know far more than I do, I've very much enjoyed your extremely thorough updates. Just from Burke's Peerage. Apologies, I thought Burke's had already been referenced. I've added a footnote now. It comes from the entry on the Lawrence family - I'm not sure I'm allowed to post the exact wording, as it's copyrighted - but it provides an overview of the family's lineage. I hope that's enough. (Is this the right place for me to be posting this? I'm fairly new to Talk Pages - should I have replied on my own page?) Phettyplace (talk) 4:10am, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Fantastic, thanks. I thought that made sense - I wasn't too confident you'd be watching my talk page! Phettyplace (talk) 11:36am, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
