Awarded compensation with John and George Morant (both of whom q.v.) for the Crawle estate in Jamaica as mortgagees. Quite possibly the same man as Vice Admiral Robert Stuart Lambert (q.v.).

This conceivably was Robert Alexander Lambert (d. 1805) (q.v. under Robert Lambert), whose trusteeship would have descended to his son Robert Stuart Lambert. Robert Lambert (d. 1891] the son of Sir John Lambert and Jane Morant, and nephew of George Morant, was reportedly born in 1818 and would have been to young to have been a co-claimant in 1834/5.
