G'day, Neville

Great to hear from you. My personal connection to your family is extremely remote, however, my cousin Julie Lamb is married to a chap named Graham Watt. We re-met after many years...

Hello again, Byng
I am very grateful to you for your interest and for the effort you are offering to narrow down the possible "William Malsbury - Military" lineage in my search for the parents of my...

Thanks, Byng - I seemed to have reached an impasse with my 3xGG, Sarah, around 6 months ago and it is wonderful to know that this thread is still alive.
As strange as it may seem, I too,...

Hello Jean - this is indeed the record - true gen(e)ius! - I am greatly indebted. I will now go quietly away with all that has been offered and integrate it into the history of our family for our...

Thanks, Jean - the record I seek is one referred to by Dundee 10 early in the discussion which identifies the fact that George Lamb has brothers named John and Robert living in Dubbo. I have double...

Hello again, Dundee 10 - sorry to back track but I am carefully going through everything I have and I wonder if you can point me towards the source of the Immigration record you quote, please - " ......

Thanks for the link, geneius - I have had a peek and look forward to setting aside a large chunk of time to thoroughly explore some of the pages offered. The 1787 Census of Westmorland looks very...

Thanks, Janet - I will most certainly report back with any concrete findings - everyone has been so generous with information and advice.
I think I know George, who came to Australia, quite well by...

G'day, Peter - long live pedantry! My inexperience shines. I am grateful to you for pointing out "county / country" as I had mis-read this. Thanks also for explaining how to fully appreciate the...

Thanks, Janet - yes, time to view some "original" documents. The anomaly in the transcription of Robert's parents needs to be reconciled as it will either add weight to my pencilled-in family group...

Thanks, Lesley, I will certainly do that - time to view some "originals", as the generous contributors to this discussion have assisted me greatly in narrowing down my search.
Also, I would like to...

Hello helachau - I think your information regarding Robert, John, George and William, corroborated and abetted by other wonderful people within this discussion, has confirmed that Robert and John...

Again, thanks, geneius - I have enjoyed browsing these clippings. The report in the Carlisle journal is really enlightening. I have noticed that a Mary Sowerby and a Robert Lamb had a son named...

Hi geneius - thanks for your advice regarding digitised records and thanks for the link. The name Lamb also features as one of the 4th Fleet families, who, like the Naval Officer, have no direct link...

Hello Janet

Thank you for your assistance with this search, as with my past enquiries. The death details of both John and Hannah are worthy of further follow up although they do conflict with...

Thank you, helachau, for your information regarding William, who is a sibling of the George (1822) whom I was certain was the George Lamb who emigrated to Australia with his family in 1864, however,...

G'day, Dundee 10

Once again you have come up with something I had not considered. Mum's family is still firmly ensconced in the Central West so John and Robert are certainly related to "my"...

Thanks, geneius (great name!) for your thoughts, which reflect some of the leads that I have been considering. I am comfortable with John (1819) and William (1827) being siblings of "my" George...

Hello B-G Cumbria

My mother's family was established in Australia when George Lamb, with his wife Jane and children Mary-Ann, John, Robert, George and William arrived in Sydney in January 1864...

Thanks, Lesley, for this and for the Lanarkshire advice. You have provided great tools and I am about to explore Scotlands People.
Kind regards ... John

Hello Lesley - thank you very much for your comprehensive advice and detailed information regarding Maggie Bruce and her siblings. I will now look at the General Scottish Forum. Although William has...

G'day, Janet - many thanks. It is remarkable the way that a bit of information here, and a bit there, is nibbling away at the time frames available for travel for all four families mentioned in my...

Thanks, Dundee 10 - good to hear from you. Your advice is always so helpful. Port Chalmers is in the right area and I seem to recall seeing Sam Chesney referred to as a Saddler in something I read...

Hello Wigtownshire, from Australia

I was overwhelmed by the response to my initial post on B-G Northamptonshire, regarding Sarah Malsbury, and wonder if someone can help with the Travel and...
