I am researching my brother-in-law's family, the Lambeths, who were an old Birmingham family to be found working as jewellers in Hockley in the mid-1800's.
The census and statutory registers get me back to a James Lambeth b 1826 in Birmingham, living with his mother Ann (b 1791, not in Warwickshire) and siblings in Windmill Street in 1840. I have found IGI records matching the names and birth dates of three of James' siblings, Emma, William and Thomas - all christened at St Martins to parents Thomas and Ann Lambeth.
I am interested in anything that might be in the parish records for St Martins that might help me. I can't find a marriage, which would be around 1812 as the first child recorded is 1813, nor a christening for Thomas senior - who one might assume is roughly the same age as Ann so 1780/90-ish.
It's interesting to find a Birmingham family this old - most of the other families I have researched that are connected with ours start out in the sticks somewhere and make the inevitable journey into Birmingham during the Industrial Revolution.
Anyway, I hope someone can help!
Thanks,
Frazer
 
Not what you asked for, but in 1830 West’s and 1818,1823, 1829 & 1833 Wrightson’s directories list a Ralph Lambeth, baker & flour dealer 22 Bromsgrove st . (the earliest one doesn’t lista house number. But is presumably the same building)

Hi Mike - I noticed Ralph but I can't find any connection as yet. I will file it away for further use, though!
Thanks, Frazer
 
Hi Shera,
That's excellent because the address is correct - Windmill Hill & Holloway Head as well as four names and dates, all spot on.
If you are able to look at any more, that would be fantastic!
Cheers,
Frazer
 
Hi again - thank you for all this: I saw the marriage in the IGI but it's too early for mine - Ann would have been 9!
The burial might be though, as there is no sign of Thomas on the 1841 census and would put his birth at 1891 which is about right.
These baptisms sound like they may relate to the 1800 marriage.
I'll keep a note of it all as it may well turn out to be a relative - who knows!
Thanks again, much appreciated,
Frazer
