Jamaica: William Lambie
« on: Wednesday 08 July 09 16:22 BST (UK) »
I’m interested in anything about William Lambie, who was a planter’s attorney in the parish of St George around the 1820’s. He married Elizabeth Dundas Crichton in Edinburgh on Nov 23 1820. They then returned to Jamaica where Elizabeth died in childbirth on 19 Dec 1821. There was a William Lambie who died in St Thomas-in-the-East on 20 July 1794, who was perhaps this William’s father. Edward Bond, William’s executor, made a return of slaves in St George in 1832. I wonder if it is anywhere recorded which estates William was attorney of?

I saw on the web: "Lambie, William : 1757 ''Lists. Valuation of Slaves, Dukenfield Hall Plantation, Jamaica. June 10".
This must be the (putative) father mentioned above, as Duke/infield is located in the parish of St Thomas.
