Thomas Lamb was married on 18 July 1826 in the Anglican Cathedral of Quebec, Quebec, PQ. In the 1861 census he is found in St. Ferdinand d'Halifax and is 75 years old, born in England. I am searching for a death record to see if it tells where in England he was born. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Conrad,
This is the first time I've seen Thoams Lamb's name anywhere. I'm not sure I have your Thomas Lamb, but the location is the same as mine. I was given a family chart years ago with only names. No dates. What I have is Adeliade Lamb married to Pierre Pichette 3 May 1852 at St. Ferdinand, Halifax. The parents of Adelaide on the chart are Thomas Lamb & Marie Gaillemette (I can't read her last name really). Marie's mother is listed as Mary Culleh or Cullen, no father listed on the chart. Thomas Lamb's parents are listed as Laurent Lamb & Johanna Flynn. Laurent's parents are listed as Jean Lamb & Brigitte Coman. Johanna Flynn's parents are listed as Edward Flynn & Jane Harler. Edward Flynn's parents are listed as John Flynn & Catherine Hendy. Jane Harler's parents are listed as Alexander McGrath & Therese Thompson. This chart was done by a genealogist for my husband's great uncle. Unfortunately I haven't had time to confirm this branch of the family, so I don't have anything on Thomas Lamb other than the names mentioned above. I hope this helps you.

No, unfortunately I wasn't given any of the documents that were done on the family. Only the family chart. I have no idea what ever happened to the work that was done after my husband's great uncle's death. The only thing the chart has on it is England after both sides of the family. I did a search on FamilySearch for Laurent and didn't get one hit with that name. One of these days something well show up I guess.

Yes, Thomas Lamb is the one I am researching. He married Marie Louise Guilemette 18-7-1826 at the Anglican Cathedral of Quebec, Quebec, PQ. Her parents were Isadore Guilemette and Marie Lacombe, married 11-11-1794. They had 5 children, one of which was Adelaide.
I have no information of Thomas's parents. Do you have documentation of Laurent Lamb & Johanna Flynn?

My maternal grandfather is a Lamb, descended from Thomas (Thomas > Magloire > Jean > Adelard > Gerard). The origins of this Lamb family are fairly difficult to discern. Based largely on deduction, I believe that Thomas was born in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England. English documents confirm a 1786 birth for this Thomas to Joseph Lamb and Sarah Hathaway, married on 17 August 1784. I believe that this Thomas also served in the 41st Regiment of Foot for the British Army during the War of 1812. He is subsequently listed as a settler in Canada with Captain Adam Muir (Canadian National Archives). The Archives document also list this Thomas' address in Gloucestershire.

So, is this hard evidence? No. But, our Thomas' marriage in the Anglican Cathedral confirms his English background. The birth dates are similar. Also, the private Thomas is confirmed as having settled in Canada in a time frame appropriate for our ancestor. I have not found other Thomas Lambs who fit this time frame.
