Hello: This is an update of my research on my LAMBERT connection. I'm interested in information on the LAMBERT families in Ireland. My great-grandmother, Sarah LAMBERT, was said to have been born in Ireland, circa 1852. In 1871 British census, Sarah LAMBERT appears as a 19 year old "housemaid" in the estates of Welbeck Abbey, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England, home of the Duke of Portland. In 1872, Sarah LAMBERT married James Edmund WHITING in the Abbey Church. She lists her father's name as Frank LAMBERT, occupation - "gentleman's servant". In 1881 British Census, there is a listing for Sarah, with husband's name shown as Edmund E. WHITING (a census returner entry mistake for the first name, however his age and place of birth as Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire, England is correct). Names of the children match those born in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. Sarah's age is given as 28 and her place of birth is entered just as "Ireland". The 1881 British Census also has one Frank LAMBERT, occupation - "retired coachman" as a possible match for Sarah's father. He was residing at the home of his daughter Jane FORREST (nee LAMBERT), who is reported to have been born in Queen's County (Laois), Ireland. Perhaps Queen's County (Laois), Ireland, is the best place to start the Irish search? I welcome all suggestions, comments, and recommendations. Thank you for your assistance.
