Find Ancestors

I have a Lazarus Lawrence Wright b.1862 in Widdington, Essex I have found him in 1871 he is living in Teynham, Kent recorded just as Lawrance

I can not find him in any subsequent census records or find a death recorded.

Just wondering if anybody fancies having a quick check for him?

Thanks

John

But where has he gone?

Maybe he joined up there was the first boar war

First Boer War/Period
16 December 1880 – 23 March 1881


Not picking him up tho after the 1871 census . Not showing too on the 1939 register

If he did he must have been killed as he does not appear in 1891, 1901 or 1911

I wonder about this one
