Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched on Roots Ireland but they did not have a baptismal record for a Laurence Yorke/York. I looked at the 1854 Griffiths Valuation head of household listings for Co. Wicklow and there were no Yorke records but three York records. All three: James, Rose and Michael lived in Carriglinneen townland in Knockrath civil parish. Not sure how or if they are connected to Laurence.
If the family was RC, the RC parish would be Rathdrum http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0488 and perhaps you could scroll the baptismal register around 1853.
