William Lamb - West Calder Midlothian Scotland
« on: Saturday 26 April 14 21:44 BST (UK) »
Hi I am hoping someone can help me with some baptism details for William Lamb baptised about 1796 West Calder, Midlothian, Scotland. William may have had a least one sister called Agnes.
William married Margaret Weir 13 December 1829 also at West Calder, Midlothian, Scotland. Together the had 4 children Helen 1832, James 1835, Margaret 1839, Robert 1830. Any help appreciated.

Hi Archie thanks for those details. Certainly looks possible. Was William also baptised Bo'ness or just Helen? Do you have any information on the possible sister Agnes, she married a Peter Bishop? Do you have any reference to John or May's parents that might help confirm? Certainly looks like the right William. Thanks so much
Regards Lisa

Hi Lisa,

           both baptised at Bo'ness nothing on Agnes, could Agnes have had a middle name perhaps Helen, a lot of girls ditched their first name and used the second one at times it gets frustrating.

I will check again on Saturday.

Cheers.

Archie.

Hi Lisa,

         Sorry but I can't find Agnes related to William, there girls called Agnes but off different parents.

Cheers.

Archie.
