Hello folks,
Hope you all had a good Christmas!
I'm have searched for William Tunmore 1811 Blofield Norfolk and his wife Martha Unknown b. 1811 Brundall Norfolk and their children: William c1836 Blofield, Francis c1837 Blofield, Henry c1841; Sarah c1844 and John c1849 Blofield.
The only info I have on them is the 1851 census, where they were all living at 50 Woodbastwick Road, Blofield. After that, I have found nothing at all - the trail just appears to go to a dead end....
Could you possibly help to find them, please?
Many thanks
Jayne

Did they perhaps emigrate?

Jayne

Jayne Report 26 Dec 2011 12:11

Hello Flick,
I guess they could have emigrated, but haven't found anything to suggest they did?

Scrub the 1887 death..........Tunmore is the married name

Hi Flick!
Yes, one of the Sarah's is possibly the one, but the census returns state Francis not Frances - could this be a "typo" on the part of the enumerator?

Thanks Vera and Flick,

So WHY is Jayne asking us to look for them as Tunmore if she has the 1851 and knows they are Simmons???

Have I missed something here?

Jayne

Jayne Report 26 Dec 2011 12:35

Hi Flick and Vera,
Thanks for the info, but just to add to the mix, there is another branch of the Tunmore tree, where they lived in Braydestone. ...
I'd never have thought that they might go to London - but it seems that they did!
Thanks again
Jayne :-)

I don't think you're the one who has 'missed' something...........

Dea

Dea Report 26 Dec 2011 12:41

Thank you Flick - I thouight I had 'lost the plot' there !!

Jayne - If you have the 1851 as you say - you MUST know what they are called!

Where has Tunmore come from?
