John Rutter LAMB

[zeel4321]

I am looking for the birth/baptism of John Rutter LAMB c 1772.   I know he married Selina Pbillips in Clerkenwell, London in 1798 (his given abode as Manchester).   He died 1824 in Manchester.   Occupation Mercer.
I have looked for a LAMB/RUTTER marriage but the only one I found was in Kent 1759 but no son John sadly.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Wilma

Yes thank you this is John Rutter Lamb.  I have a copy of his burial entry which was transcribed as Butter but actually reads as Rutter.

I have been trying to follow a George (Rutter) Lamb who interesting married a Lydia Phillips in 1800 also at St. James Clerkenwell. The witnesses are the same as on John Rutter Lambs marriage.  Was she Selina`s sister?  He died in 1850 aged 77 so don`t know where he was born either. He was not born in county on the 1841 Middlesex census.  HO107/720/1 folio 5 page 5.

Wow this sounds interesting especially as John named his son George.  Pity George couldn't have made it to 1851 census!!
 I will try and follow it up.

Thanks a lot

I have found Lydia's baptism in Clerkenwell and can confirm she is Selina's sister (Selina bap. 1780)

At least we can assume that John Rutter Lamb and George were brothers - if we can find them

The will explains it all    he even states that they were to take the surname of Lamb.

Thank you for letting us know.
