Steel LAMBERT of Great Dunmow - help/advice please

[LizzieL]

It looks like John M Wilson's wife was Charlotte Julia Wade. So not a Lambert unless she was a widow and Wade was first husband's surname. Other possibility is that Great Canfield Park was let to a tenant in 1840.

Checked the marriage in Gt. Dunmow and Charlotte was a spinster.

That's a pity, hoped we might have found the son in law. Had a look at 1841 census for Great Canfield but not found a Great Canfield Park. If Jeffrey Lambert was a farmer, possibly son-in-law might be one as well.

Hi all,

Thanks for all these ideas... I also looked at Great Easton andGreat Canfield baptisms on Seax. I found children of Jeffrey and Martha Lambert at Great Easton from 1780, but no Steel.

Details not to hand as my laptop has just gone in for repair and I'm on a tablet!

Also looked for Jeffrey's marriage at Easton or Canfield, but no joy.

Jeffrey's will is at Essex RO though.

So still a possible candidate for Steel's father.

Will not be able to actively search this week until my laptop is back.

Thanks so much all for your ideas and research.

Hallo Rosemary  I was helping a friend today with their research on LAMBERT. We were looking at the records at St Michael's Church in Braintree. Then I started googling and found your query re STEEL LAMBERT. So, I'm pleased to tell you that he was born in Braintree on 8th December 1775 and baptised on 9th February 1776 at St Michael's Church. His parents were Jefffery and Martha. We think that this Martha was Jeffery's third wife. Do hope that this will be of help to you. In order to reply to you I have needed to register to RootsChat and am just hoping that I'm responding in the correct way for you to recive my message. Regards Marion

The following may well turn out to be a Red Herring:-

Steel Willis born 23 Feb 1748 and baptised 16 Mar 1748 at Shalford, Essex, the son of Thomas and Ann Willis.

The rareness of Steel as a first name has me wondering if at a later date a female of that Willis line might have married into your Lamberts and named a child after a brother or father etc.

Steel Willis I noted down (as a "just in case) whilst researching my own Willis line which is Shalford and Stebbing based, I haven't found a link between Thomas Willis and my Willis line but I guess there is one waiting to be found.

I am one of the people Marion referred to above with an interest in the Lambert Family.

The information she gave I also have.

Jeffrey was born around 1719 I think at Alphamstone and died 29 Jul 1780 and buried 4 Aug 1780 at Panfield St Marys, where you can still find his Gravestone.

I have further information, but as I have only just joined Rootschat it seems I am not allowed to message you yet. Another day.
