Biography:

1. George Lamb was employed as a Labourer earning 1/6d per day (Supply 5/216 dated the 28th February 1793). 2. Robert Coleman, Clerk of the Cheque, recorded in his Minute Book (Winters, p.40) that on the 12th August 1793, "G Lamb went away without leave. Chequered (fined) and ordered him off watch. N.B - He never came again to work till 19th, when agreed to discharge him." 3. There was a Corning Mill known as Lambs Mill which blew up on the 11th February 1793; Mills were often named after the Millman, so George Lamb may have had a relative who worked for Mr Walton.
