Lambert lookup request
« on: Tuesday 25 October 16 13:26 BST (UK) »
I am researching a Patrick Lambert who was born in Ireland around 16 February 1870/71. (I've also seen it as far back as 1866 on one record.) His father's name is James. In 1883 or 84 Patrick immigrated to Pennsylvania. In his death certificate from 1915, it gives his father's name, but not his mother's. It also doesn't give any specific location in Ireland for his birth.
Can someone help me identify the birth location and mother's name for Patrick, please?
Thank you!

Matt

Nope. I just clicked on the link and it had the seven results from your search. All of them had pictures available, and none of them had James as the father. It's my understanding that this database is still incomplete, so it's possible that another record exists outside of this database that would match what I'm looking for.

You might be going about this the wrong way for the moment.
If he was born c1870 and went to America c1884 it's quite possible  that other members of the family travelled with him.
You've just said 'Pennsylvania' so hard to look up much but did he marry there?
Who was the informant on his death certificate? it's possible the person made a mistake giving father's name as James
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I have a lead for a possible immigration record into the US, but I currently do not know if it connects with the family I'm researching. It does have a Patrick (Patk) Lambert traveling with a James (Jas) Lambert and what would be several siblings coming from Ireland in 1884 on the ship Spain. However, subsequent research as to whether this is the correct family remains to be seen. I've been trying to go through each child on that passenger list to see if I can make any connection, and it hasn't produced anything definitive. What's worse is that there's no 1890 census in the US, so a sixteen-year gap is a long time for life to happen.
The informant on the death certificate was John Lambert, Patrick's son.
Patrick did marry in Pennsylvania. The marriage record I see has a birth date, birth place, and residence at the time of marriage.
