	How do we know this is the record for the right William ~~(after~~ all William Lambert is a very common name)? This is because his father John Lambert, Yeoman of Bolton, left a will in 1822 (he died in 1829), leaving one hundred pounds each to "my Grandson and Granddaughter viz Harry and Maria children of my late Son William Lambert of London". This matches almost perfectly to William's circumstances (dead by 1822, a son called Harry, and a daughter called Maria, well Anna Maria at least). John Lambert's eldest son was Thomas Lambert, which matches William's will which talks about an older brother called Thomas.		How do we know this is the record for the right William?

	He did not mention ~~his~~ wife in his will of 1803, instead leaving everything to his 9 and 11 ~~year~~ old ~~children~~, ~~so I assume that she had died before this, presumably between 1794 and 1803.

Oral history recounted by Claude Walmisley stated that the mother of Williams children was a Parsees (descended from a group of people who migrated from Persia to the West Coast of India during the Muslim conquest of Persia in the 7th Century).

			He did not mention a wife in his will of 1803, instead leaving everything to his children (9 and 11 years old), which backs up the assumption that she was of Indian birth, and he did not marry her.

 However, I have now found an obituary for his son Harry Lambert in Marlborough Square, Chelsea where he died on the 14th May 1849 (and says his father was the late Lieut.Col. William Lambert. This leads us to an 1841 census return where he is married to a Tabitha. But this also says he was born in that county (Middlesex) not India, which is odd as William's will clearly says he was born in Tannah on the 4th May 1792... But perhaps he just ticked the wrong box. There is no Harry Lambert registered as having died in that time, however there is a Henry Lambert: Apr/May/June 1849, Chelsea, Vol 3, p55.
