Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage Entry Look Up 1827 - Berwick upon Tweed

Thankyou for your message.
Yes, I'm sure we can exchange information, though some of what I could give you might be best sent by post.
I have tried to reply to your colleague Firehorse's personal message and made a hash of it; will try again.
And I'll reply to your posting at greater length when I've been through my relevant stuff.

I do indeed know of a Christopher Lamb. He died in 1850 aged 61 years. And there are several James Lambs. How much do you yourself wish to know? A comprehensive account of their relationships would I think be too large for this forum. But I can give it. Can I suggest that we continue by private messages?

I was in hospital longer than expected, but am at home and on the mend now.
Two bits of information for you, neither decisive but may take you forward.
The 1841 Census has Forster Lamb in the household of his parents James and Esther in Hatter's Lane, with no mention of wife or children.
In 1842 Forster's bother David Alexander was suspended from the Berwick Church Street Presbyterian meeting (for fornication!). Perhaps Forster belonged to that congregation also. Its roll of baptisms 1827-53 is in the Northumberland archives; unfortunately I do not have a copy.
If you wish to extend your acquaintance with the various Lambs of Berwick I will be happy to assist.
Best wishes.

A quick look at a tree of the Lambs shows Forster Lamb (1811-1846), whitening manufacturer, marrying an Agnes Todd on April 6th 1832. I may elsewhere have something on their offspring.
I will dig further, but today am rather busy getting ready to go into hospital  for an op, so it may be when I come out, in about a week.

Small world! Greetings.
I still think there may be quite a few of us, if only because the Lamb and Manners families were prominent, in local terms, and not small. Perhaps other researchers will chime in soon.
Both names I believe are now absent from the town.
Incidentally the Skellys the butchers have just reached 250 years of continuous trade in Berwick.

Good to hear from you.

There may be quite a few of us doing the Berwick Lambs, and I could certainly benefit from wider contact.

I would like to communicate with you via private messages, but have not so far found the trick of getting into this. If you have, and can send me a PM, that may unlock the thing.

I have found your query and RootsChat via Google. I am a descendant of David Alexander Lamb, though not of his first wife Mary Lilburn. A quick look at my notes yields nothing about her status before marriage. Perhaps by now you have found the answer.
I have a fair bit of info about the Lambs and would be glad to hear from you.
