    Default Lambert's from Sheffield, really stuck !!

    Can anyone please help me with something I've been stuck on for the last couple of years ?
    I'm struggling with my Nan's side, her father was William Lambert born 16/01/1874 in sheffield, his father was Henry Lambert, mother was Anne Lambert formerly Roach, (from birth cert') so far so good !!
    On every census William is listed as William H, he is also listed as Grandson to Robert Stones on the 1881, Grandson to Hannah Stones (widow) on 1891, then as Nephew to Joseph Stones (son of Robert & Hannah) on the 1901, he then married Joseph's step daughter Elizabeth Ellen Stubbs before the 1911, i know i have followed the correct William because of the Stones family connection who my Nan lived with.
    I found a marriage for Henry Lambert to Anne Grork in Sheffield 1863 ??
    I did find an Anne Lambert in 1871 with a Thomas Rouke ? listed as daughter & Henry Lambert as son in law. I have found only 1871 & 81 census's, can't find any more.
    Could Roach & Rouke & Grork be the same name ?
    I have now found christenings for 8 children who i think are the correct ones, the parents are named as Henrici Lambert & Annae O'Rourke, on Family search, but i can't find births for any of them except William (Gulielmus) Lambert.
    The christenings are at St Marie which is/was a Roman Catholic Cathedral in Sheffield & the names are in Latin.
    I hope someone can shed some light & give me some more ideas !!
    Thanks.

    Is the 1871 census RG10; Piece: 4678; Folio: 42; Page: 28 Sheffield if so Anc has in laws transcribed as Ranke! There are 3 children listed Ann, Henry and Mary Ann. These childrens births are easily found on freebmd.. original looks more like Rourke...
    The marriage you noted for Henry Lambert 1863 would fit this couple
    The bad or good news is that this Henry and Ann are on the 1881 census still have the mother in law bridget with them..and no son William..
    RG11 piece 4642 folio 19 page 30

    Are you certain you have the correct birth cert?

    There's a possible death for William Lambert born Sheffield 1874

    William Lambert, Mar qrt 1874, age 0, Sheffield, 9c/235

    I have to go out soon but in case it helps others in the search I think he may be the person down on the FamilySearch 1881 transcript as "Wm. H. Lambert (Lancashire)", aged 7, birthplace given as Micklehurst, Cheshire.

    26 Belgrave Street, Denton, Lancs
    RG 11/4046, f.20, p.34

    William is shown as grandson of the head of the household, "Robert Lambert (Lancashire)".

    Cheshire BMDs shows that a William Lambert married Elizabeth Ellen Stubbs at the Methodist Church, Manchester Road, Denton, in 1904.

    The original census sheet clearly has William's birth place as Bradfield Yorkshire

    To be certain you are following the right ancestors you need William's marriage cert, unless William was illegitimate his father's name should be entered.

    William Lambert, Ashton, June qrt 1904, 8d/937

    That is def' the right census but i don't know why they were all listed as Lambert, Robert & Hannah (& kids) are def' Stones.
    The tree on ancestry is probably mine (Swindell tree)? i thought i had found the reason why William never lived with his parents as i thought his dad (Henry) had died but that doesn't now seem to be the case.
