Preview:In 2001, a simple request from a cousin for the birthdates of my children started me on a journey that will continue for many years to come. Like many of my generation, I had listened to family stories around the dinner table and didn't think too much about it but after that simple request in the main street of my home town in New South Wales, Australia, I had an urge to find out more.
This story revolves around my great grandfather Charles Alfred James LAMBOURNE, his family and his lineage. The earliest LAMBOURNE I am confident to lay claim to is John LAMBOURNE born circa 1808 in Alresford, Hampshire, who, with his wife Ann (marriage date unknown) were to have eleven known children (Ellen bc 1831, Frederick John b 1836, Andrew bc 1838, Amelia b 1840, Ann Maria bc 1841, Ellen bc 1844, Louisa bc 1846, Jane bc 1848, Walter bc 1851, Alice bc 1873 and Amelia Catherine bc 1876).
