I will check on the birth date for Lawrence and let you know. Of interest is the history of this family and the Father. He may be a clue for the last two childen. Lawrence was born in Hartland, Illinois. Patricia was born in Crystal Lake, Illinois. The Father was Edward Newman Bradley. While in St. Petersburg, Florida he accumulated wealth through embazzlement. He was eventually caught and sent to the Federal Prison in New York. Mother couldn't take care of these children and they were placed in the Woodstock Children's Home but, of course, she never expected them to be adopted out - just taken care of until she could take care of them. Some story, right. I know even better ones. Looking for someone to write a book about mine.
