Hi all,

I would really appreciate a fresh mind to help me find where Steel LAMBERT was born and who his parents are.

As you can see, I know a lot about him, but can't find his baptism anywhere.

Help! Please 
thanks in advance for any advice
Rosemary

I have the following info on him:

Born about 1776 (based on age at death of "in 83rd year") - I've checked the Great Dunmow CofE baptisms on Seax from 1770-1786 with no joy - no Lamberts at all.

Steel married Elizabeth WILSHER 25 Oct 1796 at Great Easton, Essex by licence; Steel described as otp, Elizabeth as otp formerly of Great Tey. [Note: haven't checked Great Easton records for his baptism as don't currently have access to Seax.]

Children all born Great Dunmow, some baptised at Coggeshall Independent Chapel: William (b1800); Jane (b1802); Elizabeth (b1805); George (b1807); Ann (b1809); Joseph (b1811).

1841 Census - residence Great Dunmow.

20 Sept 1848 married Jemima Elizabeth FOX at Independent Chapel, Great Dunmow - just received marriage certificate from GRO = widower and widow but no fathers' names/occupations (boo!). Steel described as a Corn Factor

1851 Census: Can't find them; apparently returns for Great Dunmow are missing.

1858 24 March - death of Steel reported in 2nd April ed. of Chelmsford Chronicle "24th ult., at Great Dunmow, suddenly, in his 83rd year, Mr Steel Lambert, many years miller of that place."

I would appreciate help with this photo from the collection at my local library - one chap is clearly navy, but what branch of the military does the other man come from?

Also - any help as to date would be appreciated   


thanks very much
Rosemary

I looked and looked on the government website, but I couldn't find anywhere that tells me how much they will charge for the following scenario:-

I would appreciate the inside track from anyone who knows!

1) order on line a birth certificate for which the GRO index is known;
2) request a check for the father's name;
3) on checking, father's name does not match, so the certificate is not issued.

Thanks,
Rosemary

Hi

please would some one look up the entry for Ralph Nevill, born 1890, living in Manitoba.

I am especially interested in any details on where he was born, parents etc, as if he is the person I am hoping (!) he emigrated to Canada from London, England.

Of course, I would also love any details on wife & kids too

thanks v. much for your help
