Fourth son of William Lawson and Ellen Gossling married Dora Welch

Wilfred was primarily a superb business man and money–spinner. He made a fortune for the company of Furriers in Mincing Lane for whom he worked only to have the company lose the lot.

His partner jumped off Beachy Head before Wilfred could persuade him that he could build the business back up again, which he later succeeded in doing.

He received the M.B.E. for designing and utilising skins for the troops.

He put £32,000 in trust, later reduced due to the Pepper crash.

Michael John Klitz (changed his surname to Kaynes) worked for Wilfred for 3 years before branching out on his own

There were no children and Wilfred's wife Dora became a recluse after his death. She lived in their dormer bungalow called "Doraville", in Epsom Surrey.
