NOTES
I cannot be certain that Jane LAWRENCE née SOMNER (S1801) was the Jane LAURENCE (sic) who married Richard BULLEN in 1642, since no detail other than the names is given in the register. However, it seems possible that she was, and if so, that she also married Edward WEEKS in 1666.
Variant spellings of the surname LAWRENCE include LAWRANCE, LAURENCE, LAURANCE, LARANCE etc.
