LAMBERT OF
ROTHWELL
The Henry Lambert who married
Alice Iles in 1595 at Leeds may be the “Herry”, son of James Lambert of
Holbeck, baptised at Leeds on 30 August 1573. James Lambert and Elizabeth
Foster were married at Leeds on 29 July 1572.
There was also a Henry Lambert
who married Margaret Sidall at Leeds on 22 July 1589. It is likely that the
bride was Margaret, widow of William Sidall of Holbeck whose will
was proved in 1587/88. The husband was probably the Henry Lambert who was a
party with Gabriel Siddall to a fine
in 1596 relating to property in Holbeck.
Alice
Iles, wife of Henry Lambert, may be the daughter of that name mentioned in the
1586 will
of Edward Iles of Leeds, clothier, who also appears to have resided
in London for some time. There was an Alice, daughter of Ralph Iles, baptised
at Leeds in 1579/80, but that would be rather late for a marriage in 1595. The
two Alices were probably closely related as the 1570 will
of James Iles of Leeds mentions a son Ralph and the testator’s brother Edward
Iles was a witness.
There
were two other Lambert/Iles marriages in the area in 1589 and 1610.
Michael
Eiles and Elizabeth Lambert, widow, were married at Rothwell in 1589. Edward
Iles of Leeds had a son
called Michael. Elizabeth may be Elizabeth (Foster) Lambert, widow of James, as
a James Lambert was buried at Rothwell on 6 July 1588.
William
Lambert and Barbara Iles were married at Rothwell in 1610. William was of East Witton and
his will was proved in 1654/55.[1]
His wife may be the Barbara, daughter of Brian Iles, baptised at St John,
Ousebridge, York, in 1588. Edward Iles of Leeds had a son called Brian.
Edward Iles of Leeds may have
been the one who married Isabel Parker at Rothwell on 15 August 1553. His wife
could be Isabel, widow of Thomas Parker of Rothwell whose will
was written in 1552. Thomas Parker and Isabel Savile were married at Rothwell
in 1549. There was a John
Savile of Rothwell who was a member of the family of Savile of the Bank
near Halifax and who is said
to have had fifteen children. However, any connection with this Lambert family
is so far speculative.
