Would that be your couple?

Hi,

My Tomeys passed through Cheltenham on their way to London: George Tomey and Mary Burgess married sometime before 1794, and had 5 children in Stroud, Gloucs, and another 3 in Cheltenham.
I have always suspected that Frances was their daughter, but I've never found a christening to prove it. Have you had any luck?

Hi

I have John Cullingworth in 1851 if you don't already have it: the household is as follows:

William Lambert; Head; 54; Mar; Inn Keeper; born Morcott
Mary Lambert; Wife; 54; Mar; ; born Duddington, Northants
John Cullingworth; Grandson; 8; ; born Northamptonshire
George Whitelaw; Head; 23; Mar; Mason; born Brockesby, Lincs
Elisabeth Whitelaw; Wife; 31; Mar; born Morcott
Lambert Whitelaw; Son; 1; ; born Grimsby, Lincs

My interest in this family group is through William Lambert: his grandmother was Mary Williams. Elisabeth Whitelaw is his married daughter, and the only child I have for William and Mary.
In 1861 and 1871 George and Elisabeth Whitelaw have a nephew George Cullingworth living with them, presumably John's brother?
