My mother is a Tumber. Her father was Percival George Tumber and his father was George Tumber. There's a Smith-Tumber in the line somewhere. There's a story about going to Africa and never coming back to England - southwest side somewhere. My cousin Neil Tumber is researching also. We have trouble finding Tumber information.

Surnames: Tumber, Whitehouse, Loraine, McCracken
I think we are related. I'm the granddaughter of Percival George Tumber and Clarice Whitehouse. George in 1838 could be related to our line. My cousin Neil Tumber is Solihill is also looking for the Tumber family members. My mom mentions "Wingham" as a homesite. Percy is buried in Wales because that's where he lived with Clarice. Which other Tumbers are named in the 1851 Census. I'm in Canada.

My grandfather Percival George Tumber was born in Kent. He married Clarice Whitehouse (Welsh). My mother is Patricia Joan Tumber (born in Wales). I don't know if Percy had brothers but his father was also a George and there is a Smith-Tumber in the stories also. She talks about Wingham and my cousin Neil Tumber from Solihill is also looking for Family. I'm in Canada.

Percival George, another brother, and younger sister Lilly Tumber were the children of George Smith-Tumber and Maude. Are they on anyone's lists?

Hi Helen,
I am researching the Tumber family in Kent. Where abouts in Kent do your Tumber family come from.

Hi Jane - or anyone else reading this,

My aunt started researching our tree in the 90s. She gathered a fair amount of information on our branch of the Tumbers but, as always, we would love to add to it.

The furthest back my she could go on pre 1850 Tumbers from Kent was for Thomas and Catherine Tumber who were living in Boxley near Maidstone, Kent in 1815. An entry in the parish records of St Mary and All Saints reads -
George, baptised 20th August 1815 Parents Thomas and Catherine Tumber, Boxley. Labourer.
Thomas and Catherine were not in Boxley for the 1841 census.
George's older brother, Thomas, was baptised in 1809 in Bearsted, near Maidstone.
George (mariner) married Mary Ann Peck in 1840 and moved to Rochester, Kent where their daughter Ellen was born in 1842, nothing more is known of her. By the time of the 1851 census they had moved to Chatham, Kent where they had 6 more children: George, Richard, Thomas Philip, James Everett, Philip Samson and Edward Samuel Dunn. We have records of their births, deaths, marriages and children.

We also have information on the Tumbers in our tree that lived in India (working on the Indian Railways - East Indian Railway, Great Indian Peninsular Railway, and Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway), Hartlepool, London, Winchester and Southampton.

If you'd like any of this in greater detail please ask, and anything you may have that links would be appreciated.

Hi Liz,

I am very interested in the Tumbers that lived in India. My father was from Punjab and was of East Indian descent. It is our belief that there was a Tumber that worked on or near the railway station near his village, Rampur.

Since Tumber is not a typical East Indian name, we have been trying to determine how it was integrated into the local community.

Any information you have on Tumbers that were from this general area and ancestory would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Pamela Norton (Tumber is my maiden name.)

Surnames: Tumber Hepburn Landells
Hi
I know that this thread is 4 years old but I am hoping that you are still researching. I am researching my dad's great aunt for him and she married Edward Tumber in Bombay. Her name was Jessie (Jane) Margaret Hepburn but she was a widow when she married Edward and her surname might have been Landells. She married marine engineer Robert Landells in 1878 in Scotland and they had a son in Northumberland in 1880. I have no idea if she went to India with her husband but she was a widow in 1888 living in Dunbar and then two years later she married Edward Tumber in Bombay on 14th Oct 1890. She died in Cawnpore on 1st May 1892 and it was reported in the Scottish newspapers
"At Cawnpore, India, on the lst inst., JESSIE MARGARET HEPBURN or LANDELLS, wife of EDWARD TUMBER, of Cawnpore Cotton Mills, and fourth daughter of the late James Hepburn, factor, Preston Mains, Prestonkirk."
I have been unable to find out anything about Edward or their marriage and would love to know if you recognise these names. I got very frustrated with this line and left it for a year to see if distance helped.
