Reverend James Lamb - Old Kilpatrick - 1867.
« on: Thursday 29 November 07 04:17 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,

I am in possession of a transcription  of a letter from a distant relative, Rev. James Lamb.  In the letter to another family member, he states that he " has been in Old Kilpatrick for 8 year's.  The letter is dated March 1875.  He mentions that he has "a very nice congregation, though not large, but sufficient to give me plenty of work".  He states that he has 4 children, 3 boys and a girl. 
Quote
Last year about this time, I was presented by my congregation with a silver salver and a purse with a hundred sovereigns, but much better than that we have been highly favoured in being permitted to see the good fruits of our labours.  We shared in the Revival which came to Scotland last year and which reached it's culmination through the labours of Moody and Sankoy, the American Evangelists.'

Does any of this mean anything to anyone?

Hi Joe,

Many Thanks for your efforts.  I knew James' mother was Christian Stewart but didn't have his fathers name.  Christian Stewart's brother, Alexander,  was my GGG Grandfather.

Many Thanks,


Christine.
