Email received from member Mr John C Lawes LFR 070

Dear John

Just thought you'd like to know that Mr Alan Priestley member LFR 089 and I have learnt thanks to the LAWS FAMILY REGISTER that we are both great-grandsons of Henry James LAWES 1825-89 & his wife Harriett Maria Stratford 1833-98 who married  9 Jan 1893 at Shoreditch Middlesex. 

We have been able to add to one another's databases and to correct some errors, for example Alan tells me that Henry James father was Thomas, not John as I had assumed, (He has H J 's marriage certificate) 

Meanwhile I have been able to give him more accurate dates and place names (From my family bible) and so on. 

Needless to say we are both delighted! 

So John"Thank you" once again for maintaining and comunicating the LAWS FAMILY REGISTER, Let us all hope that other members are as fortunate.

The following information kindly donated by John Lawes (in 2001) a  direct descendant of Harry Lawes

"I can tell you that he was born November 27, 1854 at White Lion Street, Shoreditch and that he married Elizabeth Margaret Tabrar (stage name: Lizzie Tabra) who was apparently one of "a Music Hall family."

A newspaper clipping I have says: "...in his youth [Gus] worked with that veteran of variety, Mr. Charles Coborn." (Who is also featured on your site.)

I recently learned from the British Music Hall Society that Gus Levaine wrote the words to "Sister Mary Walked Like That," composed by "A. Massage" and sung by "Jolly Nash" but that was the full extent of their information. I have since encountered, via the internet, a gentleman in England who is descended from the Tabrars and is, like me, a genealogy buff. It was he who told me about Lizzie Tabrar. (I knew only "Lizzie" until that point.)"
