I am looking for my ancestor Mary Lampen's parents. Mary was born in 1801 in Devon, Devonport, England according to census records and was married to William Brooks. Her parents were Henry Lampen and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was still alive in 1841 and was born in 1766, also in Devon. Thank you for your help, Jackie
I'm afraid I can't help you with Henry but wonder whether you have come across a connection between the Lamdens and the Pratts. I have a direct ancestor, Fanny Pratt (b1807), who married Robert Watson and went to live in Devonport. Her brother named a child Mary Lamden Pratt, and I have noticed a Fanny Pratt Lamden, possibly named after Fanny Pratt, who lived and married in Devon. This may be a co-incidence, or the Pratts and Lamdens were friends, or they were related.
