Yes, that's what it looks like Liz but I think he was illegitimate as the baptism states he was the son of Elizabeth (no fathers name) so I'll dig a bit further with Elizabeth & her first marriage.

Strange then , if she was a widow when she married Sargent.

If he had been born before ELizabeth married Lambert then he would have her maiden name and she wouldnt have been Lambert at his christening.
If Elizabeth was indeed single, then she told a porkie pie (or vicar made an assumption) when she married Sargent.

Lots of work for you!!!!!

Hi Liz,  Found Elizabeth's marriage to William Lambert, 1822 Burstow (and another in Worth Ssx on the next day  ) need to check that out.  William died in Burstow & was buried 19/8/1838 aged 36 years.  Elizabeth Lambert, widow, is found in 1841 living in Outwood, Burstow with daughter, Mary age 11, son's George (7) & little Edward 8 months.  So definately looks like Edward was the product of a relationship she had after she was widowed & before she married Sargent 
So Edwards REAL name is LAMBERT,

 Possibly the earlier date is for banns read at Burstow. Elizabeth Sargent names her birthplace as Worth in 1861, and probably in 1851 - it isn't very clear. Worth and Burstow are not very far from each other.

Elizabeth's maiden name is Denman as can be seen from her marriage to Thomas Sargent:


Name Elizabeth Lambert Widow
Date 16 Aug 1845 St Bartholomew's Burstow
Father John Denman occ Labourer
Groom Thomas Sargent Widower occ Labourer
Father Stephen Sargent occ Weaver
 Residence for both Outwood

Witnesses Abraham Huyyett (looks like) & Sarah Lambert

According to Edward's marriage cert to Maria, his father's name is Thomas Lambert but I suspect that as he never knew his Father's name, he substituted the first name of Thomas [Sargent] and then used his own surname of Lambert thus making "Thomas" Lambert.

....William died in Burstow & was buried 19/8/1838 aged 36 years.  Elizabeth Lambert, widow, is found in 1841 living in Outwood, Burstow with daughter, Mary age 11, son's George (7) & little Edward 8 months.  So definately looks like Edward was the product of a relationship she had after she was widowed & before she married Sargent

Something is not quiet right here given that William died in 1838 and Edward was born in 1840. If William is Edward's father, then Elizabeth was pregnant for over a year which is very unusual.

Hi Hazgraz,
I didn't say Edward was the son of William, I said Edward was the result of a relationship she had after she was widowed    On my records I've recorded Edward's father as 'unknown'.

then Elizabeth was pregnant for over a year which is very unusual.

I'd go further than saying it was  "very unusual" ..............

But as Jane has clarified - we have ruled out that he was Williams child for that very reason.
