Hello Ian......

And welcome to Rootschat....

What kind of nformation are you seeking , about Albert ?

Albert Lapping was born on 25th December 1895, at Warrington, and died at Hull in 1979......

His mother remarried in 1905, one Joseph Smalley Atkinson and had three more children, Samuel , Emma and Lily Atkinson.

I have looked, but can't see that he served in WW1, but it could be that he served in a Naval Service. His brother John, served in the Royal Navy.

We will try to help.

Regards

Hi Ian & Jeannie

Albert was my Grandad Williams'  older brother. He was born to Elizabeth Lapping Nee Heard and John Joseph Lapping in the Orford Barracks at Warrington. Elizabeths mother was present at the birth.

He appears on the 1901 census with his mother and three brothers living in Portsmouth. By this time his father was dead from disease in Pietermaritzberg. (He was buried there).

After Elizabeth married Joseph Atkinson the family moved to Hull except John who settled and married in Portsmouth.  I have been unable to find very much information on the Lapping family as they were not close and little in the way of documentation has survived.

Are you related to Albert?

Best wishes

Dear Jeannie and Aly

Thank you both for your kind messages, and my apologies for not replying earlier. I believe that I am related to Albert, and am seeking any background information on him, which you have now kindly provided. If anyone else has information I'd be grateful to receive it.

Best regards

Hello Ian.....

I have found that Albert Lapping, married in 1966 at Hull. His bride was Ethel M D PICK, who was born 23rd August 1893, and died in 1976 at Hull..

I suspect that it was Ethel's 2nd marriage, but I cannot find a earlier one for Albert.
I will have another look though, and see what I can find.....

Hi Jeannie and Ian

the only other marriage record I can find for an Albert E Lapping is in Dover in Kent in Jan -Feb-March1920, which is about the right time. His spouses name was Rose Phillips. Not sure how to check if it is the same Albert but I will keep looking

Cheers
