Title: LAMPON family in Edenbridge

Found Charles Lampon, cab driver in Southwark, born C1811 says Edenbridge. Looking for his parents, any help appreciated.

... and just "Kent" in 1861.  He died in 1866.  I wonder what the source is for a link to Edenbridge?

On his 2nd marriage (to Eliza Eyre, Kennington, 16 Jan 1844) his father was named as Thomas Lampon.

Thomas Lampon . (probable Father)... Edenbridge,, Fellmonger .took on an Apprentice Walter Holmden at Edenbridge 1808

A fellmonger was a dealer in hides or skins, particularly sheepskins, who might also prepare skins for tanning.

Thomas is shown as a Leather dresser on 1851 Census.

Thats the Edenbridge connection. Dodgy dates for Father and Son.

Thomas b1798 would have been too young to take on an apprentice in 1808 or to father Charles c1811.

Think there are two Thomases b c1770 and 1798 - father and son?? as i have noted both in Edenbridge in 1841, both fellmongers

there's no transcription of age on the apprentice records I can see

Hello,

Just discoverd this forum after discovering that the census records showing that Charles was born in 'Tunbridge' (either Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells I guess). Has anybody researched his birth family in Kent and got any further information?

Regards,

Giles Allen
