Hello Stewart

My wife is also related to the LAMB family of Corton Denham, through Jane LAMB chr. 22 May 1795, daughter of Samuel LAMB and Mary HANHAM who were married 1776 at Sandford Orcas. Jane married 13 Jan 1816 at Corton Denham to John BEACH b1795-d1851.

We have had help from Roy Snaydon and Gordon Osmond and have just received from David Lamb in Canada via "Horethorne Hundred" group of the Yahoo forum "Somersetfamilyhistory" a list of his LAMB relatives who emigrated from Corton Denham in the early 1840's.

We would be interested also in your CHIDZEY family as we have a Haryet BEACH married 29 Aug 1822 to John CHIDSY and also the LAMB and BEACH families.

Ref your need for Excel , try "www. openoffice.org" where you can download for free the program to open .xls documents, we use it successfully.

"I'm related to the Lamb family from Corton Denham and have been doing a fair bit of research into the family and the village.  I have traced my family from the 1500s up to the mid 1800s living in Corton Denham. 

My g/g/g/g/grandmother was Jane Lamb born in 1802, her parents were James Lamb and Mary Longman.  Jane married Levi Chidzey in 1832.

I have a spreadsheet containing a huge amount of information on the families of Corton Denham over 500 years but I can only access it on my work computer at the moment (I don't have Excel)!!  I will look at it tomorrow and see what I can find.

Can you tell me what other family names/info you have.

Regards
