Ken, which of the two sons is your friend connected to? William or George Philip?

There are two well researched family trees for both if your friend could access these?

William www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/154328141/person/432039406353/facts
George Philip www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/183181161/person/172391455514/facts

There is a great document of the research carried out on William b. 1871. A 13 pg document, including photos, with a comprehensive summary of sources. One of the best docs I have seen on a family tree on Ancestry. It can be found if you click on the 'Gallery' tab.

There looks to be outstanding questions on son William's birth and the birth and family details of George William Snr. George Snr's first marriage has not yet been determined.

Hi Monica.
This is Rod from Perth Australia a friend of Ken.
Thank you for helping me getting started on search of the past.
It has always intrigued me of stories and rumours past down the generations within the family.
The biggest question is we are not “Lambe” as we came from the oldest son George first born to Ann Jane Lambe née Cross was pregnant before marrying George Lambe therefore taking his name.
Question: did she become pregnant by George and then got married.
Or left Limerick Ireland carrying a child to the work house.
Then it’s a new trace and search who am I.
It is like a Novel with lots of mystery HaHa. I can only say thank you for starting this path of discovery for me. I do hope we can chat again when I return to Australia. I will be more than grateful if you are able to guide me through any difficulties I encounter.🤗😊

Hi Rod

Welcome to RootsChat 

I got the sense that there was likely more to found in determining the eldest son, William's, origin.

I did search for a birth under Cross but nothing jumping out for him in London. Have you seen that research document I mentioned for him on the Ancestry tree (could well be your tree!)? Looks like the puzzle has been there all along. If you haven't seen it, it is certainly worth looking through as it shows all the things that have been checked to try to find his birth (similar problem finding George Snr's origins isn't there?).

I did search birth in Ireland for William but again nothing coming up.

Rootchatters love puzzles  So, come back soon when you get home to Australia.

Have a great holiday here
