Hi all.
I am trying to find out what happened to Louisa, she was born in the Jul quarter in 1861. I found her baptism at St. George, Birmingham. 6 Aug 1862. She was the daughter of Francis and Mary Ann Lamb. They were living in Hampton Street at that time. There is some writing in the margin of the baptism, which I am unable to read.
I am unable to find a death registration and she is not with her parents in 1871 as they were living apart.
I will be grateful for any help. Carol

Marriage Place: Edgbaston, St Bartholomew
Father: Francis Lamb – glass blower
Spouse: Mary Ann Gregory
Louisa Lamb 6 Aug 1862 Birmingham, St George Francis, gold pencil case maker & Mary Ann
A tree on Ancestry has Louisa’s as died Dec 1862 Birmingham but no evidence to support that?
I did find this baptism.

This looks likel Francis in 1881 the older children may be from a former marriage of Martha?

September qtr - your Louisa mmn Gregory
There is a burial for a 6mth old Louisa Lamb 26.12.1861 Hockley All Saints which I suspect is the June qtr birth

Following on from reply 3# by ColC
In 1871 Francis was lodging in the house of widow Martha SHORE, (nee RYMER).
This is the Martha he married and her three children Harry, Ann and Francis have the surname SHORE in the 1871 census, but the surname LAMB in 1881.
I looks as if the youngest, Francis was actually the biological son of Francis Lamb. His birth rego has no mother’s maiden name recorded.
But I could not find Louisa either. Definitely NOT the one who died in Dec 1861.

I have been looking at the Gregory Family to see if Louisa was with them in 1871, no luck but what I have below for information.
John Gregory Married 7 Jul 1833 Edgbaston, St Bartholomew Frances Taylor
1871 – 281 Great Lister St.
John Gregory 62 Head
Frances Gregory 63 Wife
John Gregory 24 Son
Francis Lamb 7 Grandson
John and Frances had two other daughters.
Frances Gregory - baptised 15 Feb 1834 married 9 Mar 1863 Edgbaston, St Bartholomew
John Gregory & John father + Mary Ann & Francis Lamb - witnesses
1871 – Frances a Nurse at Birmingham Eye Hospital.
Jane Gregory About 1836 baptised 5 Aug 1836 married 24 May 1876
Aston, St Peter and St Paul - John Wilkins & John, father
1871 Jane a boarder in Aston with a John Gregory, this appears to be the husband of Frances above, she is also on this census return as Fanny. So on the census twice.
As far as Louisa is concerned maybe adopted or died no record?

Thanks everyone for your information. I guess I will never know what happened to Louisa.

There is a burial record on FindMyPast for Louisa Lamb. It’s only a transcript unfortunately
1862 Warstone Lane cemetery Birmingham (about 15 min walk from Hampton Street)
That’s all the information it gives and I can’t find a corresponding GRO record but may be something worth following up.

Bit of a long shot but I wonder if Louisa Lant on GRO index is worth a look age 1 DQ 1862 Birmingham

Have a look at www.jqrt.org The Jewellery Quarter website.
There is a Warstone Lane Cemetery burial for a Louisa Lamb, section E grave 261 which is a public grave.

I wonder if the baptism was a private one performed just before she passed away. That may be what the illegible note in the margin refers to.
