I have dedicated this website to my Grandfather Joseph Steward Tumbridge because he was so proud of his surname. I am sure he would have approved of the research I am doing. I think he would have contributed, had he been alive today. Unfortunately I started the research too late to draw on any information he could have given me, as a consequence I am having a great deal of problem finding his Father, who died when Joseph was only 14 years old.

William Edmund Tumbridge is a bit of a mystery. I can find no records in the 1881 census, neither can I locate his birth record. There is a chance that he came from another country and did not arrive until after 1881. There is a record of his death but not a record of his marriage to my Great Grandmother Lucy Scammell. I hope to know more when the 1901 is free of all its problems. If anyone can throw some light on the history of either William Tumbridge or Lucy Scammell I would be very interested to hear from you. Lucy was married before she met William, to a man with the surname of Morris.
