Lambert family that I am related to
We’re Romany Gypsy
Many over the years have tried to prove or disprove. The difference is records only give a small picture as to fact inside family knowledge is everything
The lambert family were for generations
Wood Carvers Engravers Metal workers Scrap and Rag Men They also We’re Gypsy Blacksmiths . My mother still has in her possession Tools that belonged to her Great grandfather Edward Jesse Lambert . The lambert men like most Romany men also kept bought sold horses and I can remember such as a kid Watching them take the horses to wash in the river banks of the River lee .
The men were swarthy darker skinned and all had the same eyes I remember them wearing Diklas . The lambert family were known in the areas of Tottenham Edmonton Enfield Waltham
Walthamstow Epping And Areas of Kent Including Maidstone Ashford Sittingbourne and more . Many will have known them as surname smith but on paper they were Lambert .
Jesse /Rosina / Ada seem to be popular girls names with in the family. My Grandfather was born in 1912 and I met and still remember many of the older memories and the story’s I was told .
It was My family that taught me Words like Gaje  And Hotchi And some of the Romany language.
West street Edmonton st Mary’s road Edmonton and Lawrence road are all places I know my family were around .
If anyone is linked or knows of this family I would love to hear from you .
I have alot to share .
Happy new year everyone

My great granny was on west street for a time but her husband family lambert/smiths were on st Mary’s and they all link together as part of one family. Would love to talk x

I came across some Ayres in Northampton a few years back 😃 x

Hi I'm not to sure who claims that Ayres are show people perhaps there are show people with Ayres name But Ayres is one of the oldest family's with Romany routes .Xx
