John Lambe
Son of Edward John Lambe, late citizen and goldsmith of London deceased, apprenticed to Ebenezer Coker, 5th February 1755 on payment of £8.5s of the charity of the Goldsmiths' Company.
Free 3rd November 1762. Appears as spoon maker, Fetter Lane, in the Parl Report List 1773, which implies a mark entered in the missing register. First recorded mark entered as spoon maker, 8th February 1774. Address: 97 Fetter Lane.
Second mark on move to 29 Fetter Lane, 25th August 1780. Third mark (two sizes) 15th February 1782.
Fourth (two sizes) 9th April 1782. Fifth (two sizes) 19th September 1782. Sixth (two sizes), as plateworker, 11th February 1783. Seventh 4th July 1785.

Heal records him as spoon maker and watch maker, 29 Fetter Lane, from 1783 only till 1796. His brother George - who was apprenticed to James Tookey as spoonmaker - does not appear to have entered a mark and was very probably in company with John.
