Ladell Family Ontario

[Branching out]

Looking for info on Alfred Charles Ladell and Naomi Lambe or Lambert.
Alfred was born in Norfolk England in 1830.
Naomi was born around 1837, not sure where she was born.
not sure if they married in Canada

Looks like the family is in Warwick, Lambton Ontario in 1881

No answers yet, just a couple of questions:

Have you found the couple on censuses - and do they give a clue as to Naomi's birthplace?
When and where was the eldest known child born?

If we can narrow down the search to a reasonable time period, we would have a better chance of finding info on a marriage (or if the couple travelled together on the same ship).

And just as I was about to hit "post" RunKitty's reply was posted
I assume O in the "Country or Province" column is Ontario.
Eldest child with the family is 15 - suggesting a marriage earlier than 1866 (probably in Ontario?)

A quick look on FindMyPest for travel/migration popped up an Alfred C LEDELL born 1832 England on the 1861 Canada census.  It could be worth a check to see if he was with family members just in case it's not our man, but if correct, this could narrow down the years between arrival and marriage.

1901 census, Naomi is in Lambton West, Wyoming Village with her brother Levi Lambert.  He is a widower and she is a widow.

Naomi says that her birthday is Nov 16 1836 in Ontario (rural).

Good find Philip.  Could be him.

Following up...looking for Ledell on the 1861 census

There is an Alfred C Ledell, 29, born in England, on the 1861 census in Middlesex, Ontario.   There is a Ledell family at the top of the page too.

I would guess marriage could be in Middlesex Ontario in the early 1860s
