Thomas Dumbrell in Farnham area 1871

[Grump]

I am trying to locate details of Thomas Dumbrell on the 1871 census for the Farnham, Surrey, area. He died in the workhouse aged 53 in May 1871, but I should like to trace his place of birth from the census a few weeks before.

If anyone can help, I should be very grateful.

Cannot find a Thomas on the 1871 Census.
There are only 4 Dumbrells listed in Surrey:

Eliza Dumbrell 21 b. East Malling, Kent, Wife  Dorking  Surrey   
Henry Dumbrell 61 b.  Beasel, Sussex, England Boarder  Banstead  Surrey   
Stephen Dumbrell 30 b. Foots Cray, Kent, Head  Dorking  Surrey   
William Dumbrell 25 b. Hadlow, Kent Boarder  Horley  Surrey

Message for Topsy

Thanks for the information on the Dumbrell occurrences in Surrey in the 1871 census.

I have since learnt that the name was mis-transcribed as Thomas Dumbell, and he was at Aldershot (RG10/816/43/11). If you have the details of this entry, I should be very pleased.

Sorry but the only details available at the moment are:

Name Age in 1871 Birthplace Relationship Civil Parish County/Island
Thomas Dumbell 43  Kent, England Lodger  Aldershot  Hampshire 

Not much help I'm afraid.

Thank you, anyway, Topsy, for your very prompt reply.

no problem. I'd have only been digging up dead people anyhow.
In case you are interested there were quite a few Thomas Dumbells around.

Thanks, Topsy

Any info. you have on the Dumbrell family would be greatly appreciated.

On Ancestry the 1891 Census lists 247 Dumbrells and the partial 1901 241.
There are also hundreds of DUMBELLs

The Census Decoder lists 518 Dumbell & Dumbrells. A few too many for on here. If you give me a bit of an idea of where "your lot" were born I can narrow it down.
