William's father Charles Lamb (a gunsmith) had died in London in 1832 leaving a widow and a young family. She was trying very hard to make a living and was working in Whitby at the time of the census.
1851 and 1861 censuses
Can't find. As he became a master tobacconist it is possible he was abroad learning his trade. I would love to find out what he was doing and where he was between 1841 and 1871.
