John was a Brazier, probably apprenticed to his father, though I have not found any evidence of this as yet - 5 Mar 2001.
Isabella's parents are Richard Wilson and Mary........
I cannot locate a marriage for them yet.
James was apprenticed to his Father John, a Brazier. He applied for the freemanship of the City of York, 3 July 1830.
Thomas was given the Freedom of the City of York in the Year 1694/5.
He was a Tailor.
!Thomas also has been linked to the Smurthwaite Family. On the Ancestral File
there is an Abraham Smurthwaite Jnr who has an acestor called Jane Bulmer. as
Of yet neither I, or the Descendants of this person have found the link yet.
30 dec 1995.Here are a few Bulmers who may be related to this part of the family:
Richard Bulmer married Frances english 31 Jan/Feb/Mar 1734 at Holy Trinity Kings Court, York (Also known as Christ Church, York)
I have found three children for this couple:
Edward Chr 12 Oct 1738, Buried 7 Nov 1738.
Abigail and Jane, twin daughters of Richard Bulmer, a Taylor (sic) Chr 13 Feb 1741.Also a Daniel Bulmer marriedElizabeth Hillary 26 Jan 1744 at Holy Trinity Kings Court, York.
George was given the Fredom of the City of York in the year 1721/2.
He was a Butcher.
Francis received the Freedom of the City of York in the year 1767.
Below are extracts from the will of Famcis Bulmer Snr. This can be found on a microfilm [Number unsure] Folio 219 at the Borthwick Institute of Historical Research, in York.
This is a summary, and also , some of the language is written by me to make it flow easier.
This is the last will and testament of me, Francis Bulmer Snr, Gent, of York, written 11 Nov 1834.
I bequeath to my 3 sons, William, George, and John Bulmer £1000 each. The executors of my will are my said 3 sons.
Mention is made of his Daughter Mary who appears to be able to decide who get any monies from Trusts which were to be set up.
A share of some monies is to go to the children of his son Francis Jnr, unless of course they die before the age of 21 years. Then the money will go into a trust for the others to share, once they attain the age of 21 years.
A granddaughter called Frances Helen [Layng] is to receive £200
A granddaughter called Elizabeth Ann Roddam is to receive £200
A granddaughter called Helen Horseman Tate [?] is to receive £200
He forgives and remits to his daughter Phoebe Roddam the summ of £1000 and all interest at his decree.
His daughter Jane Clarkson is to receive the interest on the £1500 earned.....
She is also to receive £500 to share with her children once they attain the age of 21 years.
Also, Cicely Newsham Bulmer has married into the family, though I do not recall if she received anything.
There is also mention made of two grandchildren, Thomas Francis Layng, and Frances Helen Layng.
£200 to go to his grandson John Bulmer
£100 to each of the other 5 grandchildren:
Mary Bulmer, Helen Bulmer, Henry [Herman] Bulmer, Phebe Bulmer and Emma Bulmer
His daugther Phoebe Roddam also gets an additional £500.
His son James Bulmer to receive £200 as does his son George Bulmer.
William, George and John Bulmer are to receive a further £500.
Mention is made of his son Francis's wife Elizabeth [full name Elizabeth Frances Clarke]
His Esteemed friend William Vollans, Wine Merchant, to receive 19 Guineas [1 Guinea = £1 1s in old money, which is equivalent to £1.05 today, but which was a large amoount of money back in 1835!]
To his Servant Richard Howard, now in the service of his son John Bulmer, £10.
And to John Bickerdike, now in the service of his son William Bulmer, £10 [ I wonder if he is related to Charlotte Bickerdike who married Joseph Bulmer??]
William Bulmer, his son, is to purchase the House, and Garden Stable and Coach house for £600.
Will proved 7 Oct 1835
I do believe that Helen was living in the Parish of St John Ousebridge just prior to her marriage to Francis Bulmer. It is possible that her parents may also have been there, but I am not certain about that.
According to the obituaries, George was a parliamentary agent, though I have not yet researched to find out what allegiance he had to anyone. I have a reference to search the York Gazetteer on the day of 4 Nov 1848. It may be his obituary, or something more helpful.
Anne died of Tuberculosis :(
From the parish of St Maurice, York:
George Henry Bulmer, son of Henry and Mary Ann Bulmer, Christened 12 Oct 1887, living at 17, Groves Lane, York. Father's occupation = Tailor.
Ernest Samuel Bulmer, son of Henry and MAry Ann Bulmer, Christened 4 Sep 1889. The abode and occupation are the same as above.
It is possible that this famil;y are related to me, though I am not sure how at the moment.
James is always found to be 'Of Gateshead', although he was living in York at the time of his marriage. I have yet to look at records in the Gateshead area. He died before his wife did.
She died aged 95!!!! What an age to attain!
17 Aug 2001, I do not as yet know if John married.
Charles was not mentioned in his Grandfather's Will, so it is possible that he had died before the will was written,
He was the vicar of the Parish of St Lawrence, York, between the years of .... and ....
!I cannot find any refrence to the birth of their first child Thomas Francis except that he was mentioned in his Grandfather Francis' Will which was proved Oct 1835.
James was a Lieutenant, though I do not know which regiment.
