Surnames: TUMMAN
Hello to John Tumman in Barnsley - I am John Tumman in Sunderland. My forebears do not have the same names as yours, but I feel sure with such an unusual name there must be a connection. My family were in Thrybergh near Rotherham in about 1760 and moved to North Lincolnshire. My father, Frank Tumman was born in York; my grandfather Robert Horace Tumman was born in Scunthorpe, but was a black sheep in the family and committed bigamy - when he married my grandmother he already had a wife who was living near Keighly. Does any of this sound familiar to you?

Hi John
My Tumman line sound close to yours.
My father is Gerald Tumman, his father was Leonard Tumman, His father was Fredrick Tumman who was a miller, His father was Richard Tumman born 1809 in Scunthorpe, His father was John Tumman born 1761 he is buried in little steeping near Skeggy, he was a vicar. then we got a John Tumman born in 1717 around Althorpe?? but a bit sketchy on that one.

I have 2 daughters rebecca and samatha, they are both married and changed their names so i am the last in line of the Tummans tree!!

hope this helps John, if you need any more info please drop me a line

Hi John
Thanks for the response - much appreciated! Did quite a lot of work on the family tree about 10 years ago, but have only occasionally pursued it since, but now the daughter of a cousin is interested, so I'm picking it up again a little. Your geat grandfather, Frederick, and mine, John Andrews, were brothers. The mill that Frederick had still exists - it is built into a house; I have a photo of it. I'm aware of the John Tumman of c1760, but he is not the one buried in Little Steeping. That John Tumman was the brother of Richard and a clergyman, educated at Trinity College Cambridge and by all accounts a bit of a character. He is buried in the churchyard at Little Steeping, which had been his parish since about 1813 I think. I've been to his church, photographed his headstone, and have quite a bit of info on him. I know nothing of the John Tumman of Althorpe - would appreciate any info you may be able to provide on him. How did your branch move to South Yorkshire? If you want to contact me direct my email address is johntumman@yahoo.co.uk, tel no 0191 567 4533.

Hope to hear from you.

Hi John

I have asked my father Gerald and he says his great g father Fredrick was a station master at glossop train station for years, (we have an old clock that was presented to him on his retirement with a brass plaque on it) he then was moved to Barnsley station, that is where our line have stayed ever since.

I also have a photo of the head stone at little stepping with John Tumman (weird feeling to see you own name like that!!) His wife was Rebecca the same as my daughter!

If I can dig any more info out john I will pass it on, my father and I went to Lincoln archives years ago and found lot of info out, he made a family tree, i will ask him to look for it.

All the best
John T

Hi John

Thanks for the speedy response - any further info would be gratefully received. Am a little confused about Frederick, however, as I can't see how he would have moved from being a miller with staff (and, at one time, Richard Tumman living with them) to being a station master. My information is that Frederick Robinson Tumman the miller is buried at Transor Churchyard near Oundle in Nothamptonshire, with his 2nd wife and grandson, Herbert Wilfred who was killed in WW1. |I wonder if we are talking of two different Fredericks? Do you have anything on this? Look forward to hearing from you again - you can contact me direct by email at johntumman@yahoo.co.uk if you wish.

Regards

Hi john

I believe Frederick robinson tumman had a son who was called Frederick tumman, that is my fathers G granddad.
he died in barnsley in 1949, I still go to the grave now and again.
he was born in scawby in 1878 and married ida

also pulled this from a message;

-Frederick John Delancy Tumman born 7/11/1864-mother is Mary Catherine Tumman
-Frederick Robinson Tumman born about 1843 married Elizabeth Lawson-they had a son Frederick born about 1878
Tumman Cousin, Nigel Cookson, from London who supplied this information had this to offer:
"Frederick Robinson Tumman - in a nut shell - he was a miller - married twice - had 13 children by first wife none by second. Moved between Scawby and Lincoln early doors but settled in Scawby (mill still there but converted into house!). Wife died and he moved south and remarried in 1900. Died in 1917"

earliest record we could find was a John Tumman born in Thorne in 1717 who was a black smith, died in Amcotts in 1773. he married 3 times.
1st Mary Bolton she died in 1759 in Althorpe, he re married Elizabeth York in Althorpe in 1760, bit sketchy but we think there may have been a Sarah a 3rd wife.

1st marriage John tumman was Born in Althorpe in 1761 who married rebekah in 1788 Thyrburgh. he died 1831 in Althorpe

think the rest we can put together with what we have.

Hi:

It looks like the Tummons from Cornwall were originally from South Yorkshire, in particular the parish of South Kirkby. The line starts with a Matthew Tumham, baptized in April 1743 in South Kirkby. Matthew's father was a John Tumham. Any connections out there?

Sorry but I am unaware of a connection there, and do not know where South Kirby is/was. The earliest information I have is of a John Tumman in Thrybergh near Rotherham around 1760. I have seen the name spelled Tummon but never Tumham, although I would not claim to be an authority!

When & why did your forebears move to Cornwall?

Hi:

South Kirkby is 11 miles north of Rotherham, as the crow flies. South Kirkby is also linked with South Elmsall.

The only reason that I can think of as to why my Tummons moved to Cornwall is the Industrial Revolution, mining and steam engines.
