Richard Bulmer c1761

[richardbulmer1]

I have hit a brick wall. My great x3 grandfather, Richard Bulmer born c1761, married Eleanor Johnson in Monkwearmouth (Sunderland) in 1787. Buried in St Peter's churchyard, Monkwearmouth, 19 July 1806 - the day on which his 4 youngest children were baptised in the same church.

Way back then there were only 3 small villages at the mouth of the River Wear, namely, Monkwearmouth; (Old) Sunderland; Bishopwearmouth.

I cannot find a birth/baptism entry for Richard Bulmer in any of these parish churches.

Has anyone come across someone fitting this elusive man's description elsewhere in County Durham or North Yorkshire - i.e. where the majority o fBulmers were located at that time.

Hope someone can help.
Richard

Hi Richard - Recently I have found birth dates for both Raphe Bulmer and his wife Elizabeth Hutcheson (married 30 Oct 1608, Bishopwearmouth), plus birth dates for both sets of parents and the marriage date for the (supposed) parents of Raphe. These are all in Familysearch, but none have primary source references.   During your searches, have you found primary sources for any of the above events?

Marriage, 27 Nov 1787 same Church to Mary BENTON
Burial, 7 Aug 1805, South Shields; St Hilda, Occp Ship Builder, age 38 (1767)

Hi Richard,

Like you I have hit a brick wall with a 'Bulmer' family member.  I have been looking many years for Eleanor/Elen born in Sunderland. In 1901 she gave birth to a son Charles Frederick who was registered with the name Schellenberg, the father being Charles Frederick Schellenberg.  No marriage seems to have taken place.

Unfortunately, I am unable to help with your Richard Bulmer, but wondered if you had Eleanoron your extensive tree.

Many thanks,

Doric

I have Bulmer in my tree.
Samuel Bulmer born 1764 Methley, Leeds married Elizabeth Stonehouse 9 April 1787 Lythe
Samuel's parent's were Richard Bulmer born 1720 Methley, Leeds and Elizabeth Calvert born 1724 Yorkshire They married 6 Dec 1744 in Methley.
As this is not a direct line i only have limited information.

Recently on the National Archives website I've found an 1817 Chancery case in which a Timothy Bulmer 'coal undertaker' of Lower Shadwell, Middlesex is making a claim on the estate of Thomas Yeats of Topcliffe, North Yorkshire (his will is being contested though he was long deceased by then. The Yeats are related to me).

Is this Timothy related to you ship-building and trading family? Perhaps they shipped coal to London and had a property nearby?

Any information will be appreciated.
