This could be William Bumby but I guess it's really Mary Rhodes you want the info on.

Sharon Report 6 Jan 2008 18:46

My GGgparents [Sarah & John] lived in Green Row Meanwood Leeds ,UK.Their next door neighbours were WILLIAM & MARY BUMBY. Some of john & sarahs children [census]are living with the Bumbys as grandchildren,& one daughter buried with the Bumbys?
Sarahs maiden name was RHODES,she didn't put her fathers name on the marriage certificate--either illegitimate or Mary remarried. The Bumbys in 1851 have a 'son' living with them William Rhodes age 17. W bumby is listed as being a GREENWICH PENSIONER--Labourer.
I am struggling to find their marriage & births -anything at all about William & Mary. W Bumby was born in Woodhouse area of Leeds & Mary was born in Moortown area of Leeds.1851 census William is 66 years old ,died 1859,age 74 buried sept 1859. Mary was 60 years old in 1851 & died feb 1874 age 85.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated,no matter how small.
Thank-you for taking the time to read this. Sharon
