Thank You very very much Ann
Harold

This name, with variant spelling Lambe, has three possible origins, the first being a metonymic occupational name for a keeper of Lambs deriving from the Old English pre 7th Century "lamb" meaning "lamb". Alternatively, Lamb(e) may have originated as a nickname for a gentle, inoffensive person, or it may have been given as a pet form of the Medieval English personal name Lambert, from the Old German elements "land", territory, plus "berht", bright. The surname was first recorded towards the end of the 12th Century, (see below). One William le Lambe appears in "The Hundred Rolls of Cambridgeshire", dated 1273, and a Lambe de Harewude in the Manorial Records of Sheffield, Yorkshire, (1290). Occasionally, the name may derive from residence at the sign of the (pascal) lamb as in William atte Lamme, (1320). A famous bearer of the name was Charles Lamb (1775 - 1834), essayist and humorist, who published "Tales from Shakespeare", (1807), miscellaneous prose writings, (1818) and twenty-five essays, signed "Elia", between August 1820 and December 1822. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Aedward Lamb, which was dated 1195, in the "Pipe Rolls of kent", during the reign of King Richard 1, known as "Richard the Lionheart", 1189 - 1199. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

I'm surprised that a marriage record would state where someone was born but not give father's name.

Hi Girls,
I am hoping you can help me once agian, your help in finding my Relies in the past has been absolutely Brilliant.
And I thank you all for your help.
I am now trying to go further back and find my 4 x Gt grandfather Robert Lamb. I found his Marriage in 1766 and it said He was Born 1741 Holy Trinity Goodramgate york and his occupation was a Tailor his sons were also Tailors so I am guessing Roberts father might have been a Tailor by trade too, but I can't find any lambs in york earlier then 1741. Is it possible to see if anyone can find Roberts father .
Yours Kindly
Harold
