I am having no luck tracing David LAMB who married Anne LUNDIE at St Vigeans on 20 Jan 1846. Can anyone help? David Lamb has been very difficult to research as I have not found a record of him in the Census alongside his wife or children. Without this I have no age to go on, as ages are not recorded in the Marriage Records. There are many David Lambs. The Banns and Marriages record says that David Lamb was from Arbroath. The most likely record I have so far is a death record of a David Lamb, Master Mariner, in the Marine Register dated 14 March 1882, but this does not explain his absense from all census records. This couple had, I think, 5 children: (2 found in Census & 3 only found in Scotlandspeople search) Jessie LAMB b 1847 Helen LAMB b 1849 Mary Jane Bone LAMB b 1852 David Charles F LAMB b1854 George Lundie LAMB b 1858 Wife Anne LUNDIE 1851 Scotland Census records Ann LAMB in Arbroath - shipmaster Wife, with children Helen & Jessie. I cannot find her death notice. Nor can I find her in any later Census records. As she had a child in 1858 her death should be recorded in Scotlandspeople. Daughter Jessie LAMB is found in 1861 Census with her grandmother and aunt Margaret Lundie in Arbroath. I can't find her after this although there are several possible marriages none are before the 1871 census. Daughter Helen LAMB b 1849 is not found again (Possibly died before 1854) Daughter Mary Jane Bone Lamb b 1852 died 1858 Oct 31st at 1 Grayfield Arbroath Parish, F, 5 years [parents] David Lamb, Shipmaster (Merchant Service) & Ann Lamb MN Lundie, [cause of death] Scarlatina Son David Charles F Lamb b1854 died 1858 probably also from Scarlet Fever Son George Lundie Lamb b1858 died 1858 probably also from Scarlet Fever Thanks for any information on this family Veronica in Canada
