It appears that about this time James Lawrence (3) may have lived with his parents George Grey Lawrence and Mary Anne (Toms) in dwelling #98.

James may have moved to Arthurs Point around about this time.

About this time it appears that James Lawrence (3) and his family returned to Bannockburn and may have moved to dwelling #118. It seems that James was either sick before he came back to Bannockburn, or became sick while he lived at dwelling #118. (he may have suffered from tuberculosis). Dwelling #118 was no longer a general store and the James Lawrence (3) family rented it as a house. There were two bedrooms and a kitchen behind the main store-room.

About this time James Lawrence (3) became very sick and was transferred to the Frankton hospital where he died. Mrs Mary Valk (Lawrence) recalls the family being very poor. When James Lawrence died, Mrs Valk recalls her father Edward (Ted) Lawrence, the uncle of James Lawrence (3) purchased a coffin from the Cromwell undertaker and building contractor, Mr D C Betts, then he went to the Frankton hospital in his Model T Ford truck to pick up the body of his nephew. The sister of Edward Lawrence, Mrs Ivy Beatrice Ritchie was the town clerk in Arrowtown at this time. With her help, Ted had their nephew buried in the Arrowtown cemetery. Shortly after James died, his wife and children moved from dwelling #118 and away from Bannockburn. It is not known where they moved to.
