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.

Hi Claire

interesting / hadn't found Jeffrey Lambert before - and can't find that hit myself (my google-fu must be weak) but will definitely take that as inspiration to search through the Great Easton baptism records when I next subscribe to Seax.

thanks very much

Hi all,

I would really appreciate a fresh mind to help me find where Steel LAMBERT was born and who his parents are.

As you can see, I know a lot about him, but can't find his baptism anywhere.

Help! Please 
thanks in advance for any advice
Rosemary

I have the following info on him:

Born about 1776 (based on age at death of "in 83rd year") - I've checked the Great Dunmow CofE baptisms on Seax from 1770-1786 with no joy - no Lamberts at all.

Steel married Elizabeth WILSHER 25 Oct 1796 at Great Easton, Essex by licence; Steel described as otp, Elizabeth as otp formerly of Great Tey. [Note: haven't checked Great Easton records for his baptism as don't currently have access to Seax.]

Children all born Great Dunmow, some baptised at Coggeshall Independent Chapel: William (b1800); Jane (b1802); Elizabeth (b1805); George (b1807); Ann (b1809); Joseph (b1811).

1841 Census - residence Great Dunmow.

20 Sept 1848 married Jemima Elizabeth FOX at Independent Chapel, Great Dunmow - just received marriage certificate from GRO = widower and widow but no fathers' names/occupations (boo!). Steel described as a Corn Factor

1851 Census: Can't find them; apparently returns for Great Dunmow are missing.

1858 24 March - death of Steel reported in 2nd April ed. of Chelmsford Chronicle "24th ult., at Great Dunmow, suddenly, in his 83rd year, Mr Steel Lambert, many years miller of that place."

Hi - request for help/advice please

I have a marriage reference from familysearch found via Ancestry - but I'm not sure how to work out which Norwich church it refers to! Can some one please advise.

The reference is FHL film number 1595727 and is of the marriage of Robert CLAYDON and Sarah Ann WILSON on 25 Mar 1793 at Norwich.

I am especially interested in a) which church (!!!) and b) whether any mention of Robert's parish

thanks for any advice

I would appreciate help with this photo from the collection at my local library - one chap is clearly navy, but what branch of the military does the other man come from?

Also - any help as to date would be appreciated   


thanks very much
