Hi Michael

I am related to these Randalls - not sure what you are looking for, but may be able to help. Robert Lawrence's brother, John Holmes Randall was my great grandfather. Robert L married Clara Mary Wills and they lived in Cromer. They had 8 children that I know of and I met a couple of them in the 70s when they were very elderly..... what info are you looking for?

Jessica

It may take Michael a while to respond, he is at this moment on his way to Turkey to take up a teaching post. I'm sure he'll find Internet access whilst he is there.

Marriage

1881 Q1 Erpingham 4b 123

To Clara Mary Wills who doesn't seem to have been married previously but who had a daughter Winifred W Weir in 1877 (birth not registered that I can find on freeBMD)

Winifred is living with them on the 1881, 1891 & 1901 census but is listed as Winifred Randall on the 1891.

I can't find Clara on the 1871.

There is a spate of Weir births to a Lambert & Annie Weir around Norwich from about 1880. Can't see any real connection except that they moved from Lakenham in 1881 to Heigham in 1891.

One of those mysteries....

According to FTM Robert Lawrence Randall is my second cousin 3 times removed ! - I'm descended from his grandfather (b1768)
