Great detective work indeed! A clear connection with Lambs Terrace and the brewers who seem to have the makings of a good business with properties in Brewery Lane, building and selling properties in Amble outlets for their products in Amble and Warkworth. It seems Thomas's early demise and WW1 took its toll on the family as with many others. We may well have been sampling 'Lambs Bitter' in the local hostelries had things been different. Marias address in Scrogg Rd in Walker is still a main thoroughfare. To add to the tale, I worked on drilling rig with and Electrician from Clipstone Colliery, Notts, which must have been close to the location of Clipstone Camp where 2nd Lt. Thomas Lamb was accidentally killed in June 1916. Artillery accident maybe?
