These all seem to relate to the same person, but I do have some concerns about the ordination record. Was he really ordianed P only the day before being instituted to a crown prebend? [SJCT]
NOte how it does not fit the Venn account [AB]
Norwich ordinations record John Lawry of Corpus ordained deacon 18 March 1738/9, not ordained deacon and priest. So when corrected,Norwich and Rochester ordinations can fit together. Only one John Lawry with right degree in Venn and Foster (although of course a Scottish degree is not impossible) [TCW]
