Lampard or Lamport of Steyning, Sussex :
Operating on the assumption that our paternal great grandfather was Samuel Lamport (1851–1920) of Piddinghoe in Sussex, I traced his ancestry to Henry Lampard (c.1680–1751) of Steyning and Ruth Paine (c.1680–1739), daughter of John Paine and Ruth Royse of Brighton, in Sussex. However, to date, DNA testing has nor borne out that assumption, leaving us to consider that Richard Townsend Causton (1846–1930) of London —or some other man altogether—was our great grandfather.

Causton of London :
Richard Townsend Causton (1846–1930) was the second husband of our great grandmother, Elizabeth Miles of Blackhouse in Keymer, Sussex. Theirs was an irregular marriage in two degrees: in the first instance, having cohabited from about 1895 in Croydon and Sanderstead in Surrey, and secondly, marrying in 1915 while Elizabeth’s first husband, Samuel Lamport, yet lived.
