Hi Thames Ditton,
Thanks for your kind message. I already had the information you've supplied, but appreciate it anyway.
As for "Blandford Cottage", thanks for the update, since I only found "Brandford"; typo, mistakes, misspellings and other errors are really recurring often, mostly in censuses.
I am interested in the pictures to illustrate part of my research, concerning a relative in Capt Robert T. Lambert's family. This relative is not linked by blood to the Lamberts.
From Captain Robert T. Lambert (b,1818), this branch is mainly Salopian, with some bifurcations in Yorkshire.
There are some letters written by Major Robert Lambert (b. 1873) and kept at the Shropshire Archives. These letters are connected to the Clive Family and other members, as the Lambert family from Ash Grove, Whitchurch, was well connected and acquainted with the local gentry. An example is as follows:
LETTER from [Capt.] R. Lambert, Ash Grove, Whitchurch, Salop, to Bridgeman.

Details
Date: 1 November 1924
Repository: Shropshire Archives
Description: He thanks W.C.B. for what he [W.C.B.] wrote about him [R.L.] and for the copy of "The Passing Years".
This letter is addressed to William Clive Bridgeman, Viscount Bridgeman, politician and close friend to Robert Lambert. "The Passing Years" (1924) was written by Richard Greville Verney, another distinguished member of the Tory Party, as Bridgeman was.
As for my query about any pictures regarding Capt Robert T. Lambert and his wife Alice Elizabeth, I hope, somehow, to find anything. The auctioning of Alice Winsome Lambert's pictures is proving a real challenge as to the whereabouts...
Also, I have come across the Thames Ditton magazine, and it's been quite helpful and interesting. I presume you're in the team.
Good luck with your research,
Kind regards,
Cabarrús
