Lamplugh/Lamplough surname

Hi, am looking for any information on the LAMPLUGH/LAMPLOUGH surnames - particularly those living in Hull during the 19th century. I have had access to all the censuses but am having difficulty tying up spouses, children etc.

I have pretty much all of the detail on my Grandfather William King Lamplugh, born in Skipsea in 1883 and died in Ottringham in 1965. He had lived at a farm - The Chesnuts, at Burton Pidsea in the 1920's. From the 1960's I have lost touch with any of his son Hugh Lamplugh's family and would love to find out where they are now.

regards, Richard Lamplugh

    Richard - I think we may have communicated before. My Lamplugh connections are Louisa Lamplugh, first wife of my great grandfather, John Moore, b. 1838. Louisa was born in Dringhoe (1840) - so every chance of a connection to Skipsea, and died in Bridlington in 1892. John and Louisa were also first cousins, so Louisa is a cousin of myself also. To make the matter more complex, Louisa's sister, Matilda, married Johns' brother Robert Moore.

    I am also in touch with a descendant of Louisa and Matilda's other sister, Jemima (who I have a photograph of). She married William Dixon and emigrated to Seward, Nebraska, USA, where her descendants still live.

    The parents of the three sisters were Richard Lamplugh, b. Dringhoe, 1812, died Weaverthorpe 1864, buried in Skipsea and Ulrome; and Matilda Cattle, 1815-1856.

    I think we may be related as my father is also William King Lamplugh (named after his grandfather) - his father was also called Hugh! He's never really discussed his family with me though so i'm not 100% sure.

    regards, Becky Lamplugh.
