I am researching my family tree and find that we seem to originate from the Cockerham area.

1841 they are all in Cockerham;
HO107/528/16/Cockerham

I am not sure I agree with Trees as I think John/Ann died pre 1851 Census as all the Children are scattered after 1841 Census. Esp the 2 Youngest Thomas/Jane who would be with Parents if they were alive.

Wow

What a fast response, that's filled in a few blanks with actual dates.

Can't wait for a couple of certificates to arrive to verify or not that I am on the right track.

Many thanks for the detail information.

Looks like the Lamb's were a sizeable proportion of the population in Cockerham

If anyone has the Lamb family name and would like information on the Lamb family from William who was baptized on the 26th November 1865 please contact me.

My line from him is:- William > Thomas b1897 d1967 > William James Thomas b1918 d1991 > me b1950 and my brother Alan b1940.  Thomas married Alice Elizabeth Evans and WJT married Enid Nancy Collins.  Thomas and Alice Elizabeth had WJT, Eric, Ivor, George, Margaret (Braddock) and Dennis.

The Lamb's on this line are living in Morecambe, Preston, London, Maryport and Melbourne and most of Thomas's siblings lived in Lancaster.

One more question, is there a link from the Lamb's of Cockerham to the Lamb's of Aughton?
