London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Lamb Family 1841 census lookup please

Hello Frank
Thank you for your information about the Lambs. You seem to have a thread for the Corbin side which is a blank for me prior to Mary Ann's marriage to William. I have been corresponding with Liz so it would be good to collate the information we each have.
Regards
Carmel

Hi Alan
One of my ancestors is Mary Ann Corbin who was born in 1803. She married William Bailey Lamb in the parish of Seaton and Beer Devon in 1824 and emigrated to Australia in 1829.
I haven't been able to locate any details of her family to date.
Do you have more details on your John Corbin?
Regards
Carmel

Eureka! I just found your posts and am ecstatic to find some background on my 3rd G G grandfather on my mother's father's side.
I can give you some details about his life in Australia.
William Bailey Lamb and Mary Ann came out to Australia in 1829 on the Marquis of Anglesea with three children and two servants. They were among the first 500 settlers in Swan River (now Fremantle) Western Australia. Corbin was born here. Mary Ann committed suicide in 1844 and the family moved to South Australia. I have lots more information but I need to find an easy way to transfer it from my Legacy files.
I have been searching high and low for some mention of William or Mary Ann's background.
In their marriage records she is listed as Cosbin - but that is a mistake. Sometimes she is referred to in Australian records as Margaret.
I understand one of her relatives got a medal for bravery in the 1700s for saving someone from drowning in the Thames - I am looking for more details on that too.
Anyway, I will leave it at that for now - your posts are quite old. Hopefully I can help you pick up some of the threads again.
Best wishes
Carmel in South Australia
