The Common Room / name origin???
« on: Friday 13 January 12 20:04 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find the origins of a name in my family
the name Baring occurs as a second name
 Emily Baring Hamilton-Brown Nee Dumble and my dads name was Sidney Baring Dumble after his father Sidney
the first instance of the name was in the 1880s
Hope someone can help

I  used to think I had an unusual surname "Dumble" but since I started digging into my history I've changed my mind and to make things even more fun most of my relatives had the same Christian names :'( the commenest being Thomas)
I half wish I'd just stuck to the info. I had been given and not gone chasing up other lanes
Thanks for help so for

Family History Beginners Board / death lists
« on: Saturday 06 September 08 14:12 BST (UK)  »
ok Ihave a question probably with a very obvious answer and I'm just being thick

on a death index there are a couple of entries that could be relatives but I'm not sure is there any further info I can get from the registers? are the numbers in the last column Vol/page anything to do with it?
Hope someone can help

Thanks I have come across both these items before I'm fairly certain the Dumbles in the  coastguard incident are not my Dumbles
My Dumbles involved were Thomas Dob 1800? his wife Mary and eldest son possibly John I am fairly certain Capt Thomas Dumble was a merchant mariner and have evidence of him sailing into the Port of Quebec in the 1820s
The story goes that the ship they were on was boarded by pirates at some point
but what is sad is it was Capt.  Thomas's last voyage and his sons maiden voyage on his path to master mariner status
The address I have for this family was Totton St London
They had a younger son Murdock Mackenzie Dumble who was not on this voyage enabling the continuation of my family
Very hopefull  someone can help

Being new to this site and having most of my family history handed to me in book form I am investigating the gaps left by my G. Grandfather

My first mistake was thinking due to my unusual surname my task would be easy ::)
What I really want to know is
where to look for any information on a relative who was lost at sea in the late 1840s along with his wife and eldest son
I have only very sketchy details but have found the names of 2 ships he was master of
Can anyone point me in the right direction
Dumble is the surname I'm researching going back to John Dumble Dob 1770/75 from Berwick on Tweed
heres hoping
