Jane Laurence was married to Roger Laurence who studied divinity then was informally baptized which the Bishop of London disapproved of and he was ordained a priest 1714.
He left all his property to his wife, Jane Laurence, whose maiden name was Holman. He was ordained deacon on 30 November, and priest on 19 December 1714, by the nonjuring bishop George Hickes. Laurence's act attracted attention, and was disapproved by the Bishop of London. He studied divinity, became dissatisfied with his baptism among dissenters, and was informally baptised at Christ Church, Newgate Street, on 31 March 1708, by John Bates, reader at the church.
