Born: 23 Sep 1794 Died: 8 March 1849 Married: John Angus Walmisley Mother: Father: Lt. Col. Lambert Descendant: Augustine Walmisley
Census 1841 1851 1861 1871 1881 1891 1901 1911 1921

Anna Maria Lambert was the daughter of Lieutenant Colonel William Lambert, and was born on the 23rd September 1794 in Tannah, India.

She married John Angus Walmisley in 1816. She died on the 8th March 1849 at the age of 53 (according to the obituary, or 54 if her birth date is believed).

In 1841 she was living with her husband at North Street, St John The Evangelist, Westminster, Middlesex. Also with them was their children John (22), George (21), Philip (19), and Charles (14). The census says that she was born outside of Middlesex, but inside England, but this could be an oversight (if she was in fact born in India).

Birth

According to the will of Lieutenant Colonel William Lambert (as written in his probate in 1806) she was born in Tannah, India on the 23rd September 1794. This is a year earlier than her obituaries would indicate (claiming that she was 53).

According to the same source she had a brother Harry Lambert, born on the 4th May 1792.



Marriage

Anna Maria married John Angus Walmisley on the 6th September 1816 at St Johns Thanet (Margate) in Kent.

In the European Magazine and London Review, Volume 70:
Sept 6. Mr. John Angus Walmisley , son of Mr. Walmisley, clerk of the papers of the House of Lords, to Anna Maria, daughter of the late Lieutenant-colonel Lambert of the East India Company's service.

Similarly in the Asiatic Journal and Monthly Register for British and Foreign India, China, and Australia, 1816:

At Margate, John, son of Wm. Walmsley, Esq. clerk of the papers to the House of Lords, to Anna Maria, only daughter to the later Lieut. Col. Lambert, of the East-india Company's service.

Children

Definite children:

Other people also include:

  • George Augustus Walmisley (1820-1896)
  • Maria Selina Walmisley (1823-)
  • Charles McKinnon Walmisley (1827-1878)
  • Isabella Amelia Walmisley (1830-1917)
  • Walter Milbanke Walmisley (1832-22/3/1915, b North St, Smith Square, London, d. 3 Grosvenor Avenue Carshalton)

Death

Anna Maria Walmisley died in 1849 (Death Index, Jan-Feb-Mar 1849, Brighton, Sussex, East Sussex, Volume 7, Page 247).

In the Obituary section of "The Gentleman's Magazine" in 1849: "March 8. At Brighton, Anna-Maria, wife of John Angus Walmisley, esq. of Clapham-rise."

Also in the London Standard on the 15th March 1849:

She was buried on the 15th March 1849 at the South Metropolitan Cemetery (now known as West Norwood) at the age of 53. Her residence was listed as Clapham Rises Surrye (removed from Brighton). Buried by a Rev. from St John's, Clapham Rises.

An online tree says that her place of death was 59 King's Parade, Brighthelmstone (the official name of Brighton until 1810, and still the parish name used in the census in 1841).

In 1851, 59 King's Road was Belvidere house, the head was a Joseph Staley, a lodging house keeper (also staying there was a Primrose Elphistone from the East Indies - in 1841 she was living with a James Welch/Welsh in the service of the east india company - A James Welsh was in the 3rd Native Regiment, William Lambert was in the 6th Native regiment, hmm)

Hypotheses about her father

What do we know for sure about the father of Anna Maria Lambert?

  • He was called Lieutenant Colonel Lambert (from the marriage announcement).
  • He was born between 1700-1780 (given his daughter was born in ~1796)
  • He was married before 1796 (assuming his daughter was born in wedlock)
  • He died between 1796 and 1818 (he was dead before her wedding)
  • He was a Lt. Col. in the East India company (which strangely a lot of Walmisleys were)
  • He lived outside of Middlesex, but inside England when she was born.
  • He had a daughter called Anna Maria
  • she was his only daughter
  • another source says he was Colonel William Lambert.
