Recent interest in the Lawrence family (Dec 09)

"I was very interested to find on your website the memoir by Betty Lawrence. My maternal grandmother, Ada Lawrence, was a sister of Betty's father William. I have very fond memories of Betty.

I have lost contact with the Lawrence side of my family, and would be delighted to hear if any of them are still in Dane End or Little Munden, or if there is anyone who can help me with information about the family."

MAKE CRIMINALS PAY – NEW WEBSITE
Hertfordshire residents can now tell us online about anyone they suspect of profiting from crime.
The secure web reporting form on the new ‘Make Criminals Pay’ webpage, allows people to provide information anonymously, if they wish to do so. It is hoped more people will come forward with intelligence.
The new webpage also showcases how the Force is using its powers to fight criminals and compensate victims, and what it is doing with criminals’ assets to make communities safer.
You can find the webpage by clicking here http://www.herts.police.uk/poca/index.php
