David Lambert of New Malton 1737 - 1799

[Colchester]

I've researched a family line back to David Lambert, as the attachment. Albeit I've found so much information following his training in York (It looks like he financed himself so no link to a parent) and subsequent life in New and Old Malton I've been unable to establish his parentage and origins. I can't find a likely candidate in records available online but there does appear to be some association with the wine trade. I really have hit a brick wall on this and would appreciate any guidance, local knowledge, or hints! Many thanks,Colin

It would be a lot better for those trying to help you if you just copied that attachment out on here.
