Looking at the 1841 census for Weston, John LAWRENCE and family are certainly living at Bazaar Buildings which is entered with Worthy Place addresses on either side.  Worthy Place runs parallel to and north of what is now Waterloo Street  .  However on the Tythe Map of Weston of 1837, which is available online on The Genealogist site, a John LAWRENCE is the occupier of a building which appears to be in the High Street not far from where the London Inn now is.  Worthy Place would have been roughly behind there.

I can't seem to locate the family on the 1861 census - but by then there were several little alleys which ran behind Regent Street and might have been referred to as "Back" of Regent Street.  Laura Buildings is named on that census so it isn't there.  What were the names of the LAWRENCE family in 1861?

I notice that in the new transcriptions of burials of the Milton Road Cemetery available for full members on this site that John & Mary MOGUL are both buried there.  

There is the birth of a Jane MOGUL registered in the Axbridge District in 1878 - is that the child you mentioned or did the earlier one die?  (she's not in the cemetery)

Hi. I have recently been looking at the censuses for my Lawrence family. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the WSM area. In 1841 they were in Bazaar Bs (Buildings?) but I cannot find any other reference to this address. In 1861 they were in Back Regent Street which presumably was near, adjacent to, the same as Laura Buildings? In the later 1860s there is a newspaper report of a constable following up a complaint in the area of someone keeping pigs. My family were all butchers, so although there is no name mentioned, it may have been them.

I don't have a full list of the names on the Grove Park Memorial for WW2 - (Does anyone else?) but looking at the CWGC site I can see that Doris is remembered by Weston but not her husband.  I see that he was buried in Birmingham - presumably he was included on a Memorial there.  

The Weston Mercury of Saturday 31 March 1888 carries a very detailed account of this event and her inquest.  It can be seen online at FindmyPast or the British Newspaper Archives or on film at Weston-super-Mare Library.

There is also a previous article in the Weston Mercury of Saturday 12 August 1876 which may be about the same person

 Mary Ann Mogul, of Exeter, was charged with acting as a pedlar without having certificate at Weston-super-Mare, on the 7th instant.—A.S. Hanuam proved having seen the prisoner offering toys on the sands on the previous day for sale, and upon demanding her certificate, found she had not one.—Prisoner said she was working her way to to Exeter to join her husband, and the articles she offered were the remnants of her little shop. —Discharged.
