William Lambert (cricketer, Born 1779)
William Lambert (1779 (christened 14 March 1779) – 19 April 1851) was an English professional cricketer who played for numerous teams between 1801 and 1817. He was born at Burstow in Surrey, and died at Nutfield, Surrey. A right-handed batting all-rounder, he is widely recognised as one of the greatest batters of cricket's underarm era. Using an underarm action, he bowled pitched deliveries at a slow pace (it is not known if he used spin). He generally fielded in close catching positions, mostly at slip and often played as wicket-keeper. Lambert played mainly for Surrey and was a regular choice for England teams. In the first two Gentlemen v Players matches, he played for the Gentlemen as a given man. In 1817, he scored two centuries in the same match and is the first player known to have achieved this feat. Soon afterwards, he was implicated in a match-fixing scandal and was banned from playing at Lord's by Marylebone Cricket Club. This ended his career in top-class cric ...

William Lambert (1817 – April 28, 1890) was a prominent African-American citizen and abolitionist in Detroit during the mid to late 19th century. With a formal education and a background in the anti-slavery movement from a young age he would become a significant figure in Detroit's local black community and the city at large for over 50 years.

Crucial to his later success, Lambert was taken under the wing of a Quaker schoolmaster. This school master, Abner Hunt Francis, provided Lambert a valuable formal education and being an abolitionist himself introduced Lambert to the movement at a young age. In the 1830s the pair f ...
