Teddie88 — 2013-03-14 18:53:15Z

Unfortunately I can't be absolutely positive. All I've been able to do is to employ two researchers along with my own research, which includes copies of the registers in Salt Lake City LDS library and make an educated guess. The naming patterns of my 2x great grandfather (David Ambler's) children have provided clues as well.
Also I've never been certain that the David Ambler who was christened at Queenshead Bapteist Church is my David Ambler. The approximate birth time is correct according to the ages given in the 1851, 1861 & 1871 census, though. Do you have more info, Ian?

Hello Ross ,
Just adding a few details to my tree and thought anyone with an interest in the Ambler surname may like this information.
It is and inscription from a graveyard in the Union Croft Congregational graveyard in Queensbury , West Yorkshire for a Joseph Ambler. It reads " Joseph Ambler who died 30/6/1927 aged 59 ". I discovered that Joseph married a relative of mine , Ellen Womersley in 1895 and they had two children - Clement b. 1897 and Gladys b. 1900 - both in Queensbury.

Re: Decimus Filius Ambler

DonaldHaleRennie — 2012-03-15 05:43:38Z

Many people have on their trees "Thomas Ambler" as the son of "Decimus Filius Ambler". The book, "The Ambler Family", by Louis Ambler does NOT list ANY children for "Decimus Fitz Ambler" (notice the spelling difference). There is another man named, "Decimus Filius Ambler", mentioned elsewhere, who owned land in Virginia. This can't be the same guy, can it? Could "Fitz" be short for "Filius"? People may be citing this person incorrectly. One person may have made this mistake, and several have transferred this information into their own tree. Now we have many trees posted on Ancestry with incorrect and unsourced information. I am working to resolve this issue, and looking for a credible source which definitively shows Thomas Ambler as the son of Decimus.

Re: Va/Md Ambler

DonaldHaleRennie — 2012-03-15 05:25:24Z

Hello. It's been a long time since you've posted this, but I just recently started looking into this... Many people have on their trees "Thomas Ambler" as the son of "Decimus Filius Ambler". The book, "The Ambler Family", by Louis Ambler does NOT list ANY children for "Decimus Fitz Ambler" (notice the spelling difference. There is another man named, "Decimus Ffilius Ambler" who owned land in Virginia, mentioned elsewhere. This can't be the same guy, can it? Could "Fitz" be short for "Filius"? People may be citing this person incorrectly. I'm working on this. Have you heard anything on this issue?

Thomas Ambler (1712-1800)

DonaldHaleRennie — 2012-03-15 04:58:43Z

After reviewing the book, "The Ambler Family", by Louis Ambler, I have found that there are NO children listed for Decimus Fitz Ambler. Many people have on their trees "Thomas Ambler" as the son of "Decimus Fitz Ambler". The book does NOT list ANY children for Decimus. There is another man named, "Decimus Ffilius Ambler" who owned land in Virginia. People are assuming this is the same guy. His middle name is different! Could "Fitz" be short for "Ffilius"? If so, is there another source more credible?

Hi Linda

I've come to a bit of a halt on Abram. Can find no definite proof of his parentage at all. Mary Ann Newton was originally Mary Ann Hardy but I haven't been able to find out anything about her first marriage to an unknown Mr Newton.

've got quite a lot of info about subsequent generations but not so much on this elusive pair. PM me your email address if you want to know more.

Re: the ambler family from yorkshire, england

jkershaw2 — 2011-12-15 03:46:19Z

I have a Thomas Ambler (born 1827, Northowram) who lived in Fore (near the current Queensbury). He apparently fathered two boys (John ((born 31 Dec 1851)) and Seebright ((born Dec 1855))) with a Hannah Kershaw (born 1821 in Northowram)(my GG Grandmother). While John took the mother's surname (Kershaw), Seebright took his birth fathers name (Ambler). I don't believe that Thomas and Hannah were married. Hannah later married Thomas Farnnel(4 Dec 1870)in Halifax. John Kershaw is my Great Grandfather (and namesake),
Any information on this branch of the Ambler family would be appreciated

Re: arah Ambler and Robert Roberts, PA

1_penname — 2011-08-23 23:46:21Z

Sarah Ambler was born on 10/25/1721. She was the first child of Joseph Ambler and Ann Williams, and was born before the homestead was acquired. She was presumably named after Sarah Jarmin, her father's mother. Sarah married Robert Roberts at Gwynedd Mtg. on 11/11/1742. Robert was the son of Cadwalader Roberts and was born 10/18/1719. He was a carpenter by trade. He died the latter part of 1760, leaving a will dated August 14, 1769, in which he named Edward Ambler, brother of Sarah as Executor.

Info. from p. 10, The Ambler Family of Pennsylvania by Frank Rhoades Ambler, Sr., published Nov. 30,1968.

I am trying to trace the death of Merritt Ambler, born 1884 Woodhouse, Leeds, West Yorkshire. He married Emma Brooke, one of their children Clifford Alfred Ambler married Lillie Hare, and Clifford died in the Thirsk, North Yorkshire area. Lillie is connected to me, but I am intrigued as to what happened to Merritt and his wife Emma. Any help would be grateful. Many thanks for reading, MHankin

Re: Ambler's from Ovenden

Hello.
Yes, I have a link to AMBLERs back to one of 3 Henry AMBLERs who were baptized at the Mount Zion New Connection Chapel between 1800 and 1806. I can't confirm that my Henry is the one who was b 1806 to James Ambler and Sarah Baxendale. I can definitely prove my line back to David Ambler and Hannah Taylor. David's marriage certificate gives his father's name as Henry. I would be very happy to correspond with anyone with any more info. David and Hannah lived in Thornton and produced 9 children including my ancestor John (Jack) b 1858 who married Ann Hollingsworth. It sounds like I'm in the right neighbourhood.

Excellent find Littlelorn! Thank you for posting.

My 3 x GT Grandfather was one of the "many Ambler families" who helped Louis to research this book. My family hold some correspondence regarding the research and the same member of the family holds a original copy of the book - although I have to say coming from the direct English side of the York Ambler branch it doesn't hold much more regarding the York side than what we have now!

But at least it helped me to keep up the Ambler tradition of being a Freeman of York!

Well done for finding it and I certainly look forward to delving in - you just never know:)

Hello Gary-I have just seen your post from 2007 so you may already be further into your research.
We too are a Nottingham family My husbands maternal grandmother was an Ambler her father William was the son of Eliza Hannah Ambler b 1839 Mansfield Notts.I have found 3 sisters Sarah Ann, Eliza Jane, Mary and Edith Ann.
William was born in the Mansfield workhouse and on the 1881 census Eliza is recorded as being a widow in Mansfield.In 1891 she is working as a charwoman aged 50 in Mansfield.
Would be interested if any of this connects with your research.
