Did he marry?

And was Lawrence a surname.........or a second forename?

What name is recorded on the documents to which you refer?

William was a Fireman in Manchester from 1887 until after 1911. He won a Quiver Medal for bravery in May 1894. Prior to being a fireman he served in the Royal Navy from June 1879 to February 1887.

But I can't find him as a child.

Family Heresay claims his original name was Samuel Mills. The census returns state he was born around 1862 in Manchester, his naval record 1861in Ashton under Lyne.

But after tracing all the Samuel Mills born in the Manchester conurbation between 1860 and 1865 I can't find a certain match!

Has anyone any further information or ideas

Buxton in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire or South Yorkshire. Layton in Huntingdonshire or Cambrdgeshire. Storry in East Yorkshire Massey Stockport
