Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Parents of Cuthbeth Cuddy Lamb and Ann Dawson
« on: Tuesday 27 September 16 12:13 BST (UK)  »
Greetings All,
Phil,
I see you are interested in Thomas and William Dawson Lamb who immigrated here in Australia.
Thomas Lamb was my g.g.grandfather. (The younger brother, William Dawson Lamb was commonly known as "WD" here in Australia). I have been researching the family for a number of years and have a lot of information. In fact, one of my cousins and her husband have visited the old Lamb "stamping grounds" in Lancashire, taken photos et al.
I guess you would also be descended from the Lamb family, Phil.
Maybe we can pool our resources.
Up to you.
Cheers,
Tom Fletcher

Thanks Radcliffe

My interest stems from 2 sons of Cuthbeth Cuddy Lamb and Ann Dawson that emigrated to Australia. They were Thomas Lamb born Kendall Hill, Thurnham, Lancashire 1 Apr 1827 and died at Daisy Hill Farm, Killarney in Queensland on 21 Feb 1902. The other son was William Dawson Lamb Born - Kendall Hill, Thurnham, Cockerham, Lancashire 22 Mar 1847 and died 17 Mar 1925 at the Commercial Hotel, Warwick, Queensland, Australia. Thank you so much for your time and effort
Cheers Phil

Westmeath / Re: TELFORD in Westmeath Co

They could still well be related. However, I just realized where I heard the name Thomas Henry Fletcher before - Another Fletcher family I know here in Australia originated from Warwickshire England although they know very little about their ancestry and they don't know how the Henry name got into the family.
To confuse matters even more, my g.g.grandparents bore a crest on their crockery. This crest - A talbot (large dog) with the motto - Dieu pour nous is reputedly that of the Gloucestershire, Warwickshire (England) and Saltoun (Scotland) Fletcher Families.

Family research is frustrating at times.
Cheers,
Tom

Geoff,
I have attached a printout from my Legacy FH File. This goes as far as my g.ggrandfather Wm Hone Fletcher. The information on George Fletcher and his family is scanty. However, you can see the predominance of the name, William in the family which was, at first, very confusing for me. I suggest that Thomas Henry Fletcher may be from The Judge Wm Fletcher family. I was able to work out Rev Stephens family from Lt Col Thos Will. When I obtained the will of his brother Wm (my g.g.grandfather) I thought all would be revealed but it only mentions his wife Hannah. Hannah's will likewise only refers to the Tasmanian (Australian) family.
Cheers,
Tom

Geoff,
This has certainly muddied the waters, so to speak. I would think he is a cousin. However, I will get back to you on this one.
Cheers,
Tom

More information on how my family is connected:
My g.g.grandfather, William Fletcher was Wellesley Pole Fletcher's brother.
My Fletcher line from William is
Deputy Commissary General William Fletcher/Hannah Hone;
William Hone Fletcher/Margaret Smith;
Thomas Charles Fletcher/Mabel Louisa Lamb;
Cuthbert Thomas Fletcher/Edith Mary Fletcher;
Thomas Cuthbert Fletcher (Me).
William Fletcher served in the Commissary Department of the British Army. He was posted to Hobart Town Van Diemens Land (Tasmania) Australia. He also had another brother, Thomas who served under Wellington in the Peninsular War against Napoleon. This fellow was posted to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and attained the rank of Lt Colonel.
I have done a lot of research on my Fletcher family and it seems, although I can't prove it, we are connected to the Wellesley/Wellington family in some way.
Maybe being connected to "The Iron Duke" assisted Wm and Thos in their various promotions. Would love to know whether there is a connection. However, it is rather difficult as I live in Australia. Still, the internet is a good substitute.
Cheers,
Tom
PS - Wellesley and Telford are also family second names.
