Find Ancestors

Hello everyone,
I want to find out about my GGGG Grandfather William Lamboll, he was born in 1803 and died in i think 1871, he married Elizabeth Heighes (1818-1886) and had seven children, William, Theirza, George, Mary, Charles, Benjamin & Alfred. I know my GGGG grandmother had a grocers shop but i'd like to know what William did as most ofhis boys on the 1881 census were Ag Labourers and Elizabeth and her daughter Theirza ran the shop. I do have a picture but only what i took on my phone as the photos belong to my grandmother and are very delicate so i darent move them about too much! Thanks for reading,
Harry Lamboll

he is a Farmer's 'something' and Grocer employing 4 labourers

in 1861 the link goes to the wrong image page, grr

in 1871 he is a grocer, and an ancestry user has corrected the spelling of his name but does not say whether they are related.

wow guys!! this information is amazing! to help his father was Benjamin Lamboll (1767-1833) and mother i think is Elizabeth but we're not sure on surname as hers in heighes and so is Williams Elizabeth! this could help alot, i think it could be Williams fathers will, i want to know what his brothers names were but i am struggling to find out. I still dont entirely understand the will though. hope this could help someone helping me ;) http://www.willtranscriptions.co.uk/surnames/j-k-l/lamboll_benjamin_l11.htm

this is the parish record of the marriage from familysearch and it certainly looks like it has to be the right one

groom's name: Benjamin Lamboll
bride's name: Elizabeth Heighes
marriage date: 07 Apr 1798
marriage place: Empshott,Hampshire,England
indexing project (batch) number: M13945-1
system origin: England-ODM
source film number: 1041371

Empshott would have been a very small place and it would not be surprising for people who were related through one of their parents to marry each other

And there wasn't a lot of variety in names then, so for there to be an Elizabeth in two generations of Heighes's (probably more!) would not be surprising too. :)

'I give and bequeath unto Elizabeth my dearly beloved wife whom I likewise constitute make and ordain the Sole Executrix of this my last Will and Testament all my personal property together with the Business Stock in Trade Household Goods Debts and moveable effects by her freely to be possessed and enjoyed'

he gave his wife the grocery business and his personal belongings


'I give to my well beloved Son and Heir John Lamboll and his heirs the two messuages and tenements situated at Ramness Common on the same site of Ground one in the occupation of himself and the other in the occupation of William Winson'

he owns two houses on a property, one where son John lives and one where a William Winson lives, and he wills them both to John, except that he places conditions on it (this would not work today the way he has worded it and it is a little confusing to us) --

'the rents of both to be paid to and enjoyed by my dearly beloved wife Elizabeth during her life'

as long as Elizabeth is alive, John and the tenant have to pay her rent for the houses, so really they are only John's after she dies

'and after her demise the sum of two hundred pounds is to be paid by my well beloved son John Lamboll for the benefit of his Brothers after which payment the aforesaid two messuages and tenements and the benefits arising therefrom will be possessed and enjoyed freely by him & his heirs'

when Elizabeth dies, John gets full ownership of the houses, but he has to pay 200 pounds to his brothers and then he owns the houses in full

'Also I give and bequeath to my well beloved Son James Lamboll a piece of Land called Heathers containing about forty Roods more or less situated at Ramoness Common to be enjoyed by him and his heirs'

this is a separate property that he wills to son James



I hope that makes a bit more sense now :)

Thanks EvieBeavie, its most certainly them :) anyone from the chiddingfold area know of the area called 'heathers' and what are 'roods'??

A rood is an area of land measurement:

rood 1011.71 sq m
1210 square yards = 1 rood
40 (square) poles = 1 rood
1 furlong x 1 pole = 1 rood
4 roods = 1 acre
Old records of land mention areas measured in '... A, ...R, ...P'. This will be acres, roods and (square) poles or perch.

So that land measuring 40 roods was about 10 acres.

i can confirm william had a brother james but i wonder as to why william got nothing on the will, maybe they didnt get on im thinking, i also cant find a John Lamboll anywhere on the records? i'd like to know when elizabeth actually died but i cant find her neither

John Lamboll in 1861

Name: John Lamboll
Age: 61
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1800
Where born: Chiddingfold, Surrey, England
Civil parish: Chiddingfold

John Lamboll 61
Mary A Lamboll 17
George Lamboll 11

thanks again eviebeavie, so this would be the brother that got it all, what are messuages and tenements?

could be Elizabeth (Sr)'s death, where are you looking for records? this is from freebmd

Deaths Mar 1852
LAMBOLL Elizabeth Hambledon 2a 54

this seems to be her in 1851

Name: Elizabeth Lamboll
Age: 75
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1776
Relation: Head
Where born: Empshott, Hampshire, England
Civil parish: Chiddingfold

Elizabeth Lamboll 75
Beny Lamboll 20 'Benj' son's son
Elizabeth Lamboll 8 son's daughter

(ancestry has put 'Beny' when it really says 'Benj', the abbreviation of Benjamin)

if you go to google and ask it for

messuages definition

it will give you information like that. Messuage is

A dwelling house with outbuildings and land assigned to its use.

Tenement today means a multi-family dwelling, I think at the time 'messuages and tenements' was just a set phrase referring to a dwelling or dwellings on a property.

i have been looking at records on findmypast but that is most certainly williams mum/ benjamins wife and beny lamboll is williams son :) elizabeth i dont know :s and okay i shall look at what it means :)

Harry..........if in doubt.....google!! :-D

well good news is... ive found the house where william and elizabeth lived!!! they lived in one of the orchard cottages :D
