I am trying to trace a Larry, possible Lawrence Archbold, born about 1928/29 and living at 126 Capel Road, Manor Park, London in the 1930s/40s. We know he emigrated to Australia but have no other information. Please help if you are able. |

There is a marriage for a Laurence Archbold in East Ham 1967. It's such an unusual name, wonder if it's him? |

Does your father know names of Laurence's parents? Might help in finding family members if we can pin down their deaths. |

You could also try contacting the library local to 126 Capel Road, Manor Park to get access to old electoral rolls. This will give you his parents' names. |

Hi I just wanted to thank all of you lovely people for your help on finding Larry and his family in Australia. I set my daughter on the facebook trail and after a month of no replies we thought we had a deadend. Then Larry's ex-wife Pat replied a few days before christmas. She was still in contact with her ex-husband and arranged for my Dad to speak to his oldest friend on Christmas day morning. It was a very special moment for us all and I know that although I might have got there eventually you all made it possible for us. I am sure you don't all get thanked for all the work you do to help others so if you are Rose or Jan or Patchem then I thank you for making such a fantastic Christmas surprise happen for my Dad. |
