Dea, Just checking in before I clean the kitchen floor!! spooky coincidence!! You are right has to be a connection somewhere!! what a strange name for a male eh?!! xx Fuzzy

I know this one is not yours - but there MUST be some connection - A 7year old BOY called Catholina Lambert - MUST be worth following up ??? He HAS to b related somewhere !!! Ann Lambert abt 1811 Keighley Yorkshire ***Catholina Lambert abt 1834 Yorkshire, England Keighley Yorkshire William Lambert abt 1839 Keighley Yorkshire Dea x P.S. forgot to say - this is 1841 census. - He was born in Yorkshire BUT Ann + William were not !! x

Was desperate to get on the computer last night, but eldest child insisted that his revision for his GCSE's was more important than my obssession with dead people!!! Elizabeth I too am convinced it says LINAH, dont know if you looked at the thread earlier, but Richard Lamberts father I am sure was Carthaliner, think the poor old vic could have been a bit hard of hearing and put down Linah!! thanks so much for looking I really appreciate it. I cant find a Linah Lambert on the census though or a Carthalina or anything similar, perhaps he was the D word by 1841, would it have stated on the marriage cert that the father was deceased? I know it did in later years. Dea, You are such a star, I cant thank you enough for all your efforts, and knowing that you are not alone trying to solve these problems on your own is a wonderful feeling! I am following Richard Lambert 1811, he was actually born in LLandogo, hope to catch you later. I must get on with the housework, think husband is on the verge of divorcing me, once house proud me is a thing of the past!!!

Fuzzy - Have you got any of these people on census ?? Which one are you following? Dea X

Fuzzy with 100 % accuracy that this is LINAH when looked at very close you can see the dot of the letter i above the a. lizz

Fuzzy - Do you have anyone called 'Hale' in the family ??? Dea ?

Just want to add that I am now being kicked off of the computer, kids want to do homework/chat on msn. Will check in tommorrow to see if anyone has had a brain wave Thanks again to everyone who has helped today

hey everyone, Dea where are you finding this info from? you little star you! other witness was Harriott Cooper, wonder who she was! I have e-mailed the gwent RO and thrown myself at their mercy!! Did as Merry suggested and said the so called experts at the GRO had not been able to read it, that should fire em up!! One piece of good news, I managed to decipher Gwens certificate with the help of ancestry marriage records, mans name was Hatton Samual G Cox how grand!!! woman he married we knew was ellen something, but unreadable from the certificate, found it to be Thain, and yes when you look at cert again you can see it!! So at least I have managed to sort out one problem today, even if it isn't mine!!

Hi again - every little helps: I have found the witness on the cert + his family - Thomas Cadogan - You will find him on the page below - He is a Parish Clerk - AND - The Vicar who married them is on the same page - Joseph H Molford !!!!! Thomas Cadogan Age: 30 Estimated birth year: abt 1811 Household: View other family members Gender: Male Where born: Gloucestershire, England Civil parish: Awre Hundred: Bledisloe County/Island: Gloucestershire Country: England Source information: HO107/350/2 Registration district: Westbury on Severn Sub-registration district: Newnham ED, institution, or vessel: 3 Folio: 20 Page: 1 (click to see others on page) Line number: 14 GSU Number: 288763 Might be worth looking a few pages backwards and forwards from this one - you might find the others. You often find that these people connect up again here and there. ?? Have to go again now but will look back again asap. Dea x

hi Dea, Was Lambeth, when it should be Lambert, but as you say could still be the one. Know what I think peeps I reckon Richard told the vicar his fathers name was Carthaliner, the Vicar shortened it to Linah as he didn't know how to spell Carthaliner!! The name on the cert could easily read Linah, my mum thought it read Linas orignally What do you all think? I am heading off out to the garden centre for a while will check back in later xx

Hang on !! Was Georgina's marriage LamBERT or LamBETH ?? Could still be the one though !! Dea x

Just another thought chaps, Carthaliner/Leonard/Barnabus/Linah's occupation is a papermaker, this could help narrow it down, having said that the area is riddled with papermakers!!! x

Just checking in guys, you lot have been busy eh? The baptism record I found for Richard Lambert in Llandogo was Father Catherlina and Mother Martha, so perhaps Georgina had hit the nail on the head and it is Leonard, as Merry said Cartheliner was Leonard when he married!! although what I have on cert must be a shortening for that. I love these brain teasers, but sometimes wish they weren't mine!!! thanks again you lovely people for all your help I will check back later :) xx

There was a Marriage for a Leonard Lambeth... LEONARD LAMBETH Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: Death: Burial: Marriages: Spouse: MARTHA BALDWIN Marriage: 17 JUL 1788 Llandogo, Monmouth, England Georgina.

Oh nice one Dea.....It does look like Linah, doesn't it?! Maybe it's not a real diminutive.....just that the vicar didn't hear the name properly and just wrote down the bit he heard? As he was writing a male name he wouldn't want to end it with an ''A'' because that would suggest a female name, but ''AH'' would be OK!!!! Merry

Slight update - Linah IS a Welsh name but it appears to be female (Aform of Elen - welsh for Helen) Will keep looking. Dea x

Fuzzy, Get ready for more goosebumps - It looks very much ike Linah to me - ??Could b short for your Carthalina ????????? Got granddaughter here but will keep looking when I can during the day and will get back to you. Dea x

Nice one Georgina! The answer to this dilemma must lie in the Llandogo non-conformist records. All the C of E baptisms for this time frame in Llandogo are for one family, which do not include a Richard with a right-ish year of birth and do not include a Barnabas. I looked to see if Barnabas could have bumped of Penelope and re-married, but he is a widower in 1871 and died 5 years later.....no sign of any new wives :o(( Merry

Damn I thought if you could not find his fathers name & you sent for Barnabas's marriage cert it would be on there, but Barnabas married before registration began. BARNABAS LAMBERT Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: Death: Burial: Marriages: Spouse: PENELOPE HERRING Marriage: 08 AUG 1836 Garway, Hereford, England Georgina.
