Yes Cando,

This is my family.

Mary Ann Lamb married John Paris from Mt Gambier - these are my wife's G G Grandparents.

As you can see Sidney disappears - I thought he had maybe gone interstate or even back top England then returned to SA later married to Emily.

James (1842-1939) and his children went to WA, his first wife died there and he returned to SA to remarry. His children remained in WA.

Would love to know what happened to Sidney - most likely died as an infant and death not registered.

Interestingly on John Lamb (1814-1861) death it has Edward Lamb (PR) as the relative - I dont have any Edwards in this family. There is an Edward died in 1890 in Mt Gambier - could this be a nephew.

Again thanks to all for your help - and if anyone has anything to add to my Lamb family please feel free.

Dale

I am unable to locate the burial records for Snowtown cemetery but there is a headstone for mother Martha according to the website below.  Photo available for a fee.

Thanks Cando

These are a couple of major breakthroughs

Greatly appreciated

Many Thanks again

The mentioned sister would be Rebecca - I think - who died in 1932. She is listed as living in Snowtown on her death record.

Another sister Martha born 1854 is not listed on the BISA - probably reasonable to assume she died in infancy.

Sadly we drove past Snowtown cemetery last year - didnt even know Martha was buried there.

Thanks Dale

Interestingly on John Lamb (1814-1861) death it has Edward Lamb (PR) as the relative - I dont have any Edwards in this family. There is an Edward died in 1890 in Mt Gambier - could this be a nephew.

I also wondered about this death as there was a John LAMB, with occupation bailiff who lived at Mt Barker and featured prominently in the press of the day.
 
Martha was receiving relief from the Destitute Board around this time so how could she afford to have a death notice published.  I doubt it is her husband.

I read some time ago that the burial records for this cemetery do not survive...need to re-check.

South Australian Register 14 Jun 1861
LAMB.— On the 6th June, at Blakiston, of consumption, John Lamb, aged 47 years, late of Fowey, Cornwall, England.
