Dh's children question

Ive been doing some reasearch on Dh and havent found any info about whether he had any children...?

Anyone have any ideas?

Seems the answer is "no" though as far as I can tell...

He did not have any children. His wife had three from a previous marriage, but Lawrence did not spend a significant amount of time with them. But he was conscious of their development.

No, not to anyone's knowledge. Knowing Lawrence, if he did he would have written something about it somewhere. I'm fairly confident he did not.

Hm true...his works are very biographical at times - and I havent noticed anything about children so far in my readings.

Thanks for the comment

Yeah he certainly didn't have any children to his wife.
It's odd though because his poetry does speak of children.

eg http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/10918/ - A Baby Running Barefoot.

He was definitely fascinated by children black skye. He just didn't have any.
