Thank you. So may have been another child of Edith's.

In the 1939 census, it states that there is another girl called Betty M Lamb but is scored out to be actually Betty M Powell. Could this have been another child of Edith's or was it a mistake and was a random girl living them?

I am in awe of all this. I just can't believe this. Thank you so much, guys, for finding all of this. I wish I did this sooner and would have been able to tell my father before he passed away last year. So based on reading your findings, correct me if I am wrong, please -


Albert William Lambe was born in 1918
He registered in the Army in 1940 but was discharged in 1942 due to failing physical tests
He got married in 1941 to my grandmother
I was told at some point, he left my grandmother and the kids to go back to the army but based on the above that wouldn't have been the case, as was discharged. Is there a chance he could have re-joined or is it more chance that he actually just went back to England and we don't know what he did after that until his death in 1985? So he may have remarried, had more kids etc?
William lamb was Albert Lamb's grandfather, Annie was his grandmother.
Edith Mary was his mother with an unknown father
William lamb and Annie had more kids, other than Edith, who were William, Florence, Ellen Elsie and Lizzie
Annie may have died between 1911 and 1939

I believe this is everything I have picked up from it.

Now I did find the following which could be a completely different family as the date of births don't match and would mean Edith was William's Wife. Probably a different family as it doesn't match with above.

Thanks again, guys. Let me know if I have got everything correct so far, please.

Apologies, I just assumed that only certain users would look at different forum sections. If that's the case, I would rather use the one posted in the Tyrone one, please. Sorry, if this wasn't done correctly.

If Albert served in the army then he will have a service record somewhere which could provide you with more details. Unfortunately though I'm not sure if you would be able to request one without his date of birth. Maybe you can ask the Army.

Have a look here https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records/apply-for-someone-elses-records

Thank you. I may look into this one.

When he married Elizabeth Bell at Derryloran St Luran Church of Ireland Cookstown on 5 April 1941, he was recorded as Albert William Lamb, a bachelor of full age, a soldier residing at Cookstown Orange Hall (maybe a temporary billet ???). 

The bad news is that his father's name and occupation were crossed out (ie. left blank).

Thanks Gaffy, hopefully, I am replying to you correctly.

I've been searching for ages and you found so much detail so quickly. Can I ask where you found this detail, please? Shame his father's details were crossed out. Now I am confused as to how he was Lambe and my father became Lambe. I have a few questions, please -

What does a bachelor of full age mean and temporary billet mean?

Again, thank you so much.

England / Albert Lambe - Research

Hi All

I am going to give this a go with very little information, hoping for a miracle. So apologies, in advance.

I am looking for a man named Albert Lambe, who has most likely passed away. He was my grandfather and my Dad's father. He was married to my grandmother called Elizabeth (Lizzy) Lambe (maiden name Bell) and had two kids, Albert John Lambe (my father) and Alexander Lambe. All of which have passed away. I was told that after the kids were born Albert Lambe left the wife and kids to go to the Army in England and never was heard of again. I am not sure when he would have left, but it would have been between 1944 and 1950. This is what I have been told. I am not sure if this is what happened but this is all I can say (in the meantime). I don't know his date of birth or full name. he might have been English but not 100% sure. We are situated in Cookstown, Northern Ireland.

Apologies, again but if this rings a bell with anyone please respond.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,
Will
