Hi, Heidianne,
Thanks for responding to my message, which I'd posted many years ago. Since then I've built a tree which contains literally thousands of THURGOODs. The one you mention, William Lawrence, died on 16 Aug 1896. He drowned in the River Lea at Stamford Hill, Hackney at the age of 46. At the time he was a Carman, and lived at 66, Moneyer Street in Hoxton, London.

All the best,

Johnny Wilks
