Edward Lambe

Not to be confused with Edward Lamb, of Watertown

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lamb-707

WikiTree's source by which this Edward Lamb is reported born "4 October 1612 at St. Nicholas, Ipswich, Suffolk, England" is information found in an undated and largely unidentifiable item "Family Group Sheets, Family History Archives, SLC."[1] The same description is given for the source providing all that is known about the purported father, Edward Lamb.

WikiTree-ers have found the same child-parent association to be reported in Yates Publishing, U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900."[2]

The information and association is inconsistent with findings about Edward Lamb, early New England immigrant in profiling by Robert Charles Anderson.[3]

FamilySearch's Historical Collections include an extracted record for the baptism of an Edward Lambe, at Saint Nicholas, Ipswich, Suffolk England, to a father, ____ Lambe, [4] but there are more than 100 births or baptisms between 1600 and 1615 of over 100 in the Historical Collections for persons, Edward Lamb.[5]

This child-parent association lacks historical justification--documents and rational.
