I am searching for information on my great grandfather, Joseph William Lawrence and his family. He was born in Rangoon between 1884 - 1888, but moved to Calcutta some time after that. His parents were William Lawrence (from Scotland) and Lispeth (she may have been from Calcutta).



Joseph had three siblings: Catherine, Josephine, and William II; all of whom were placed in a convent, in Calcutta, sometime around 1890 - 1900.



He may have attended one of the Christian Brothers Colleges during his early youth in Calcutta. Also, He may have been a merchant sailor prior to immigrating to the US.



Any information found would be of great assistance
