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

Phil I am at work ,so I dont have the resources here that I have available at home,
There have been other Lamb researchers on here ,so they may pick out your posting,
I didnt find a burial for Dorothy ,so I shall look again later,she wont be far away,
As for Cuddy did you think it a little Odd that Cuthberts witness was named Cuddy or just a coincidence,

Hi Radcliffe
I found Dorothy buried in St Michaels graveyard Cockerham, 5 May 1859 not sure if it's the burial date or date of death. As for Cuddy, when I first saw it I imagined that they must have been relatives or close family friends. There is no record of either Cuddy Wright or William France being buried at Cockerham or Glasson that I can see. These little communities generally stayed close for generations so it seems a bit strange.
Cheers and thanks again Phil

Hi Bonnie
I was more interested in Thomas Lamb but included his brother as they appeared to be close up until Thomas died in 1902. I found death notices in the Warwick Examiner and marriages of children W D Lamb and Thomas. The BDM Queensland Index search records William Dawson Lambs mother as Elizabeth or do I have the wrong William Dawson Lamb
Bye Phil
