Hi
Hope you won't be put out by this but I am looking for information on the Aubin family and the Lamb family to whom they appear to be related.
The connection appears to be the Wines and Spirits trade.
In the 1861 Newcastle Census Lilla Louisa Lamb, described as married to a Wines and Spirits merchant, who is not on the census form although she is not described as a widow, has in residence one ?(N/H/W) Hunter Aubin, described as a nephew and born in Jersey, working in a wines and spirits office.
Lilla's husband was Frederic Holmes Lamb born in Newcastle upon Tyne and his father Warren Maude Lamb, although born in Ryton County Durham, is found in the 1841 St Saviour Belvedere census along with his daughter Sarah.
There is a family story that the son of Frederic Holmes Lamb, Wentworth Lamb, lived in Jersey or Alderney for a period in the 1920s or 1930s having also been in the wines and spirits trade in Newcastle.
My assumption is a marriage connection to the Aubin family via the trade link.
I am hoping for a connection to Lambs Navy Rum!
All information gratefully received.
