Annie Lambert (born c. 1823), diarist (MS241/1/1), Cadbury Research Library
Anne Elizabeth Lambert, was born in c. 1823, the daughter of John Lambert, wine merchant, of 33 Tavistock Square, London. She had two sisters and two brothers who were also merchants and judging from the fact that there were five live-in servants, it was a successful and well-to-do family. As a young woman in 1845, Anne (known as Annie) kept a lively diary recording her activities in London, and a second diary records the family visit to Oporto in Portugal, where Annie’s brother John worked in the port wine trade.
