No real Info for you however i can confirm that i am a current decendent of part of the Gumble family that originally came from norfolk, suffolk area however they traveled as far south as london and possibly kent so that may explain why the name seems so spread out.

from what i understand during the summer months he most likely would have been with a traveling fair, however come the winter months of periods of no events some would have gone their own ways to find work.

Where was the farm by the way?

Travelling People / Osborne and Gumble Family
« on: Friday 16 May 08 00:40 BST (UK)  »
I have been asked by my grandfather to help him trace our family tree back as far as we can...
our Surname is Osborne however my grandfathers mother was a gumble... i need to get a lot more information as it is but i was wondering if anyone knows of any information or if they are also looking for the sam,e names?
from what i am told our oral history puts us around Essex and Suffolk as far back at the 1900's

I am just starting out so any help or tips would be great.

Aston Osborne

I am no expert however i am from a showman family and from what my Grandfather tells me this looks like a traveling Showmans Wagon rather than general Gypsie style that was what was called barrel top (same kind of shape as your stereotypical wild west film wagons)

Hope this helps.

do you know who the family pictured are?
