Benjamin Lamoon

Trish - you are awesome!

I am going to have to brush up on my British military history to see what campaigns were in those areas..  I've seen a few posts regarding the births of the children as being way out there but nothing to ever solidify what I've read. (There was a person researching Lamoon back in 2008 and I've tried to contact her but all emails came back as undeliverable.)

It is obvious that I am not well versed in genealogy research (newbie in fact) so this all is a learning process for me.

Interesting places, indeed! I've never had the opportunity to be outside of the United States but I do hope to visit Great Britain some day.

More food for thought.. its a good thing that I'm hungry! LOL

Thank you again!

There is a Family Tree with Henry on it but no Parents for him.
They have Mary as nee BOHADJOI born c 1845, Corfu.

By 1901 Henry has passed away as Mary and Children Emma (Emilia)/Harry/Charles are still in Glouscestershire. Under Lamon.

1891 they are under Lamson and Henry/Mary/Emilia//Henry/Charles are at home.

Death Reg;

There is a Will for Benjamin that might name all of his Children;
England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations),1861-1941
Benjamin LAMOON 1866
Unfortunately my Sub to Anc does not cover accessing this.
Someone with more expertise on English Wills may give you info on how to find it.

Trish,
I have a membership to Ancestry - I can't get to the actual will itself but I've seen part of it through Ancestry. I've yet to figure out how to read all of it.

Thanks again,
sara

Hi
I think its a Huguenot name (the family may have originated from France).
A relative is also searching for more info on this name - difficult with the lack of records still intact in Ireland. We may be related - our common ancestor is Martin Lamoon who died in a poor house in South London after moving from West coast of Ireland. Our line comes from one of his daughters (I'm not close enough to know her name)
What is your family surname and how are you related to Martin Lamoon?

Martin LaMoon was the father of Mary Ethel LaMoon who was the mother of my grandfather, Edward Sydney Cantle.
I've not had any luck getting much further than Martin's father. It's very frustrating - especially when you don't live in the UK! LOL

That rings a bell. I'd probably know his nickname - my guess would be Ginger?
Are you in touch with Roger (your parent's cousin I think)?
Send me a personal message on here if you can?
