The birth parents of Lawrence are unknown. Every record found after 1920 shows him as the son of Helen and Arthur, with the surname Gabriel. But he was born three years before their marriage, and in the 1920 census he is listed as Lawrence Kreidler, shown as the grandson of Helen's father, while she is listed as single. No record has been found of her having an earlier marriage.
