It seems the visitations of the time list a number of children listed initially as Lawrence's being subsequently listed as belonging to his younger brother Simon. Lawrence's Spanish wife Katherine de Cardwell appears to have died before Lawrence. I have sought advice from historians and a solicitor friend of mine who tell me admon. Would have meant any assets upon death of a will-less person would pass to the next available kin. In this case his uncle William.
