Travelling People / Re: Osborne and Gumble Family
« on: Tuesday 21 March 17 14:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Steve,
            I am descended from the Gumble's of Wardley Street and in fact, my great great uncle Thomas Gumble married a Mary Emily Mason (1919-1990), she later married his and my great grandfather's nephew Henry Gumble (1921-1996) this maybe the Henry Gumble that you speak of. I happy to say that I am in contact with the cousins via Facebook and I believe they have contact with some Mason's too. I have added a link for my Facebook or if you are a member of the Romany Heritage Family History group on Facebook you will find me in there.

My grandfather Wally Mason lived in Wardley street with my father who was also named Wally. My uncle (dads brother ) was named George.My grandmother Lavinia came from a travelling background...her maiden name was Marney...dad used to mention Henry Gumble but I would like to find out more as all the Masons mentioned above are sadly no longer with us.

Cork / Re: Coogan / Cogan family of Cork

Hi Little Annie,
                     sorry for the late reply but I wanted to find name variants that I hope will be of help, I will list them in the order I have them: Cogan, Cogen, Cogon, Coogan, Coogen, Coogin, Coggan, Coggen, Coggin, Coggins, Goggin and Goggins. Goggins is connected to an off branch of the family in Cork who were Lord of the Manor for Bampton in Devonshire, I cannot say at what point they became Goggins but it is said that this part remained in England.

Hi ballydw,
              Thank you for the reply with concern to Edward Cogan, I have marriage for him here in London. However, church records in the 1820's did not ask for fathers information, this is what has stumped me. I will look at the to web addresses and see if this leads me further in my research, again thank you and I hope that it help's Benn to.

Hi Mel,
         Sorry for getting your name wrong, I can tell you that John and Rachael had two children John (1875 - 1927) and Alice Gumble (1877 - 1949). Sadly Racheal died in the January of 1888 in Lambeth and John went on to marry Ada Boswell in the July of 1888. I have just noticed that the eldest child from John's second marriage was born in 1886, so I know that he was clearly faithful to Racheal. This now opens up a mystery for me, which means I will need to order a death certificate for Racheal, as for his father James it would not surprise me he was involved in an inquest. On the 6th of July 1863, there was a warrant for his in the police gazette with a description of him, hopefully, you can see that clip below.

Do you have an ancestry account if so I can share my tree with you, but pm me if you do with your username and I will send the request. I think from seeing your comments before you have some trouble with surnames, this maybe something to take into account. Gypsies never used surnames until they arrived in the UK, so if asked they would have no idea what to give in most cases they would make it up especially if they couldn't read or write. In the case of Gumble, it is German in origin and spelt Gumbel. My AncestryDNA supports this and I have some photos of family that came from the Austrian - Hungarian borders just after 1901 before moving to America via Liverpool.

HI Benn,
            I not sure what I can add to what you are looking for, but my 4 x great grandfather Edward Cogan was from Cork but I nothing more than that they all linked to the family of Milo De Cogan who was the town of Cogan in Wales. I am also aware of a Richard Cogan who to was from Cork living in Hastings but I have yet to prove his connection to the family. It was worth looking up Milo because it gives a background history on the family, this could prove more to you than it has me, due to the loss of records in 1922 I have found it difficult to find much on my part of the family.

HI,
   This maybe a long while after the last comments, but I read this all with great interest. The reason being that I am directly descended from John Gumble and Racheal Rowlands. I don't know if I can add anything further to what you have already, but if so give me a shout.

HI Linda, do you not have contact with the family in Essex, if not I have contact with some of them via my Facebook. I also have a family group that you will be able to ask questions to family members, in the 26 yrs of doing our family all the John Gumble's referred to themselves as John 'Jack' Gumble. I have a family tree that may add some new members of the family to yours as well if you have one?

Hi Nel,
