Possibly John Laurie of 2 Polygon (see Oracle & Daily Advertiser 15.6.1799). His father was Robert Laurie 1725-1774 will PCC 1774 trussmaker of Bartholomew Close London and his mother was Ann Laurie who died 12.3.1813 age 83 will PCC 1813 widow of Holloway. His brother William 1754-1827 will PCC 1827 gent of Cheshunt Herts and his sister Rebecca 1757-1836 married 1788 Samuel Thorpe who died 1805. John Laurie married Frances Williams 23.1.1794 St Marylebone, their children John 1794-1860, William 1796-1860, Henry 1797-1848 bapt St Pancras 6.10.1797 Elinor 1800-1829 Charles Frewin 1802-1834 George born 1804 Robert 1806-1882 and three more daughters Frances Mary and Charlotte all bapt St Pancras 4.9.1811(see Bingley). The W and H of 1803 would thus have been boys of 6 and 7. John Laurie was buried 17.2.1830 St Bartholomew the Great age 73 and his widow Frances was buried there 28.6.1834. Most of this info came from an Ancestry user-submitted tree but I've checked the will of Ann Laurie 1813. Bodleian Abinger c42 f23 Godwin's letter to his wife of 5.6.1806 mentioned the Lauries as not coming to a children's party. I've not yet discovered a Laurie, DS. The Rev Laurie of 1812, may have been George Laurie minister of Budleigh, Devon 1802-1810 (Surman Index) who married 28.5.1812 at Bridport, Dorset, Anne Maitland Forbes of Camberwell (see Forbes) lived in Reading in 1825 (will PCC 1825 of his mother in law Elizabet Forbes) and was buried 7.6.1858 of Addington Place Camberwell age 74. Or several ministers of the Church of Scotland, notably Archibald Lawrie 1768-1837 in his father George Lawrie DNB 1727-1799, Rev James Laurie of Tinwald Dunfries who was dead by 1817, Rev Dr Laurie of Newburn Fife 1813. I found no Laurie or Lawrie in directories for Stowmarket though there was a Joseph Lawrence boot & shoemaker there in 1811 and 1823
