Yes i have just read it .. i somehow missed it befor .. thank you . I am waiting for ann lamb her mothers death cert and i have just got off phone to durham records and asked for original marriage cert of her parents to see what other info it holds ... i will update this thread when i get news ... i thank you all for your help

Did you read my post about her name at marriage?

Just think it through..............

ok thank you i will see what ann lambs death certificate holds

Relationships aren't shown on the 1841 census and although often a presumption is made, it can't be taken as a given. Yes, I would think, but can't prove that Ann Lamb is Elizabeth's mother on the 1841 census

so i take it she was a lamb by birth and ann lamb in the 1841 census was her mother and not mother inlaw ... yes ?

From the example/s put up by mgnv from the baptismal registers-

Apart from what looks like the illegitimate births, every entry on both pages shows the mother to be "late - and then surname"

I would take this to be the vicar being very obliging to us family historians and putting in the maiden names of the mother. Either that or the parish had a lot of second marriages!

So I would take it that
eg William and Sarah (nee Bloggs) Smith had a child Fred Smith

or in your instance
James Morrison born to William Morrison and his wife Elizabeth, previously known as Thompson, nee Lamb

thanks but my elizabeth on baptisim of her child say of merrington so i doubt if baptisim 1782 elizabeth lamb middlestone is mine

mgnv lamb now but used to be thompson ? so was she born lamb or thompson ???

thank you very much for that info .. so she did marry a george thompson who died 1804 bishopwearmouth .. so in 1841 ann lamb was her mother , thank you again

Lamb late Thompson means Lamb now but used to be Thompson.

Here's an example from my wife's tree (referring to Entry 949 of):
http://tinyurl.com/m7k9v2v

Births Dec 1845 (>99%)
Benson William Durham 24 84

Marriages Jun 1839 (>99%)
BENSON William Whitehaven 25 146
DOUGLAS Isabella Whitehaven 25 146

If she married Morrison using the surname Thompson, then her maiden name was Lamb

Otherwise, she'd have married as LAMB
