Birth of John Lambert in two submitted entries in the IGI in about 1729 in Leeds, Yorkshire, and his marriage to Martha Brooksbank on 20 June 1754, plus another submitted entry just giving his birth.

Entry in Ancestry West Yorkshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1512-1812 for John Lambert and Martha Brooksbank on 20 June 1754 at Leeds St Peter. "No. 45 John Lambert of this Parifh and Martha Brooksbank of this Parifh were Married in this Church by Banns this twentieth Day of June in the Year One Thoufand Seven Hubdred and fifty four [he signed his name she made her mark] in the Prefence of Thmas Wade [and] Tobbias Lambert [who made his mark]".
The children were christened in Calverley, 2 miles NE of Bradford.
He is stated to be a labourer on Mary's baptism, but a clothier of Stanningley on Zillah's, Absalom's and Tamar's so I am not sure if Mary was the daughter of this John.
