My Heritage

[ElizabethHerts]

There were 9, possibly 10, children. The first 2 or 3 were born in Birmingham (confusion with the first 2, called Charles - they might be the same baby) and one died at Birmingham and the other, Horatio, in 1831 at Whitby.

James became a Merchant Seaman and I rather lose sight of him, but he might have died at Middlesborough.

Emma Louisa survived and married a chap called Edward Binns. They had 14 children but ended up living apart. She died in Leeds.

Mary, born 1826, died in 1834.

Sarah Susanna, born 1828, married twice. With her first husband, Aaron Harding, she lived at Bishop Auckland. After he died she returned to Whitby and later married James Reed.

Adam Horatio Theophilus (!) was born in 1831. He was a shoemaker for a while but went into the army. He didn't achieve much, never married, and died in Whitby in 1889.

There was a son Edward Edwards Lamb, born posthumously in 1834, so although he had the Lamb name his father wasn't Charles. He died in 1835.


William was therefore the only one really to prosper. His widow Elizabeth married a man 20 years her senior after William's death. He was a prosperous man from the Storm family of Robin's Hood Bay.
