Hello In the 1841 Census my GG/GFather JOHN LAMBOURN gave his place of birth as I (Ireland). He was married in Headington to ELIZABETH BURROWS in 1825 and moved from there to East Ilsley, Berks. Occ Ag Lab/Shepherd. He died in 1849 (before 1851 Census). His burial is on the Parish Reg, but no death certificate available. My question is, any ideas what a LAMBOURN would be doing in Ireland. Its not exactly an Irish Name (none at all on the IGI). My Guess would be that his father was in the army. Have found several Army LAMBOURNs. But my problem with them is that I dont know Lambourn seniors name. I have been looking for him for 20years, so would greatly appreciate any help, suggestions or whatever. Thanks Vera Lennard g3vps@tinyworld.co.uk
