I have not been able to get the newspaper reports - Jomot, do you have a link to them, please?
Sorry, I cant provide a link as the newspapers are on a subscription site, but if you have a sub then just narrow down by the dates & newspapers I gave you & then type 'James Lamb' in the search field.
His death / burial record is on Ancestry under Liverpool, England, Catholic Burials - St Mary, Highfield Street. Date of death given as 3 Dec 1866 in the hospital, aged 26. The find a grave entry is 7 December at Anfield Cemetery, Roman Catholic section, so presumably the service was held at St Mary and the actual burial at the municipal cemetery.
