The Chief of Clan Lamont
Father Peter Noel Lamont of that Ilk
29th Chief of Clan Lamont
The current Chief of Clan Lamont is the 29th, Father Peter Noel Lamont of that Ilk. Father Lamont is Parish Priest of Holy Name Mary Roman Catholic Church, Rydalmere a suburb of Sydney, Australia. He was born on November 21, 1955, and became Chief upon the death of his father, Noel Brian Lamont, on July 16, 1972. His branch of the family came to Australia in 1855, led by his Great Great Grandfather, Edward Buller Lamont. Peter is also heredity Baron of Inveryne.
The Chiefship moved to Australia in 1929, when Peter’s Great Uncle, Edward Luis Lamont, became the 22nd Chief. Peter has a younger brother, Gregory, who is married, and has sons, so the Chief’s line will continue in Australia. He also has a sister, Roxanne. Father Lamont was ordained at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, in Parramatta on November 22, 1986.

Good Day!
I am in search of the roots of my great great grand father who is a Lamond who was among the many who migrated from Scotland to Australia about a decade ago. Is there any possibility of me tracing back to his roots?
I am a retired Anglican Priest. I am descended from James McClymont of Tarbolton, Ayrshire, who arrived in Australia in the mid Nineteenth century. I have researched his life on the Ironbarks goldfield and in Orange NSW and copies of my book (limited ed) are in the National Library in Canberra and in the State Library in Sydney. James McClymont was my great grand father.
I would like further information on the Lamont Clan Society.
Hello Father Peter,
I live at South Granville where my grandmother lived on Rawson road and see that you are very close at Rydalmere.I have recently joined the Granville historical society and am currently doing the family history of my fathers family,”the Colemans”.I have a small database of their ancestors and would like to share this history with you.
Regards
William.
Hello,
My family of Patrick is a sept of the Lamont Clan and this year [2010] in October, we are gathering to celebrate 150 years in New Zealand.
My query is directed to Chief of Clan Lamont, Father Peter Noel Lamont :
Would Chief Peter consider sending us a greeting or blessing which we could read out during the Official ceremony of our family reunion?
This would mean a great deal to us.
We would very much appreciate your help with getting this message to Father Peter.
Kind regards
Paddy Patrick
