Correction from Garrett. My grandfather was not Albert, but was Henry Lawes.

When I was a small child, living in Aldershot,my Mother had a friend with the surname Lawes. I still have a beautiful copy of "Alice in Wonderland" which she gave me in 1948. As I recollect, her name was Edith Annie Lawes and she was, I think, a widow.Not sure whether this would be your family but the name might be a help. Best wishes with your search.

My grandfather was Albert Lawes, who was manager of the Royal Exchange hotel, Aldershot until he died in about 1923. All his three children were born in Greenwich, and I do not know when the family moved to Aldershot . His wife was Emily Alice Hibbit.
I am new to this website, so I do not know how you get a message back to me, but I shall be very interested in any information you might be able to give me.
With best wishes,
T.K. Garrett
