Looking for info on any Tupman families from 1700's back, perferably in Chesterfield. I have a Thomas Tupman b. 1716 who married Dorothy Downs in 1743 in Chesterfield.
Thanks.

Hi Selina. Briefly:

Thomas married Dorothy Downs and they had 5 children that I know of. One of the sons, Samuel, is the ancestor of quite a few living Tupmans. Thomas died in 1764 and I believe Dorothy died in 1776.

Thomas, baptised in 1716, was the only child of Anthony Tupman and Mary Fox who married in South Wingfield in 1715. Anthony died in 1718. Anthony's parents were Thomas and Elizabeth (maiden name unknown, given name from their Wills) and there were seven children that we know - Thomas was a Cordwainer and on his death his Inventory included eight dozen pairs of shoes!

Going back up the tree we have Anthony baptised in 1595 with an unknown wife, and his father was another Anthony who married Margaret Heathcote in 1589. Going back further it gets a bit speculative but the next one could be Thomas Tupman who was born around 1510 in Brimington.

If you have any specific questions then message me.

Regards,

Alan

Hi, thanks for this it's been very useful. Just wanted to ask a few questions, if you wouldn't mind emailing me the answers to Selina93659@aol.com.
I have the 5 children of Thomas and Dorothy as John 1743, Samuel 1749, Mary 1753, Dorothy 1755 and Ann 1758. Do you have any marriages for these children???
Was Mary Fox born in South Wingfield, if so do you know if her parents were buried there??

Thanks. Selina
