MORE LAWRENCE MAWBYS

I've now discovered that there were three 'Lawrence' Mawbys in early Queensland.
LAWRENCE MAWBEY I
1) The already mentioned, Lawrence Mawby who married Ann McCulloch in Sydney on 2-3-1847 and moved to Queensland [via New Zealand and Bourne, Lincolnshire, England].
LAWRENCE MAWBY II
2) Lawrence Mawby, b.c.1857 at Wellington, New Zealand who married Ann Burton on 12-10-1880 in Queensland (may be son of (1)).
LAWRENCE MAWBY III
3) Lawrence Osborne Mawby, grandson of (1), who married Hettie (Hetty) Ada Hearn in 1899.

I have to be careful not to get them mixed up when discussing their children, and where the families lived.
