I have been re-reading William Henry Lamb's will, which is quite detailed. I feel there must be some clues there as to his activities and previous whereabouts.
It refers quite a lot to his "Shipping Property" and I was wondering if there is any way of finding out the extent of this property and for how long he had owned it? |
