Margaret Trumble born abt 1782 in Bermondsey, I think. She married Thomas Jennings, would like to know who the parents were of these two persons ?

This one?

It's important to give dates & locations

Name: Margaret Trumble
Spouse Name: Thomas Jennings
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 18 May 1807
Parish: Horselydown St John
Borough: Southwark
Register Type: Parish Register

Seems to be the one.
:-D I had no idea where they were married, so, thanks for that!

Just a possibility:

Name: Margaret Morris Surmbule
[Margaret Morris Trumbule]
[Margaret Morris Trumble]
Baptism Date: 2 Sep 1781
Parish: St Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey
County: Surrey
Borough: Southwark
Parent(s): John Surmbule,
Ann Surmbule
Record Type: Baptism
Register Type: Parish Register

This is on my mother's side of the family. Where does that surname: Trumble come from, look very much like Trouble. lol

I think that looks like her birth too, wow! :-D

Seems the surname was changed, or written down wrong...

Not sure what surname to follow now... Trumble or the Surmbule ?

Looking at the 1807 marriage then one witness is also a Trumble but not sure if its Jh for John or something completely different

So, it seems very much to be: Trumble, what a strange surname!

So, it seems Margaret Trumble parents were: John Trumble and Ann surname unknown at the moment...

Could Ann surname be: Burns or McAdams ? I think Margaret Trumble parents were John Trumble and Ann McAdams, hope this is correct ?

Two of the witnesses to Margaret's marriage were McAdams - Jas (James?) and M. .

There is this marriage:


Name:John Trumble , batchelor
Spouse Name:Ann McAdams, spinster & Minor
Record Type:Marriage
Event Date:25 Dec 1770
Parish:Bermondsey St Mary Magdalene
Borough:Southwark
Register Type:Parish Register

Witnesses: Daniel (I think!) McAdams & John Morris.

Margaret's baptism gives Morris as her middle name

The Trumble/Burn marriage was in Durham.

So, it looks very much that Ann McAdams was Margaret's mother.

Thanks very much for that info Potty. Very pleased with that, seems I'm on the right family line... Interesting about this John Morris and her having this as her middle name, so who was this John Morris to Margaret Trumble ? Hard to find the answer to that one, perhaps her cousin ? Now I have this info, will be interesting to see how further I can get back with this line... or have I reach a brick wall... lol The person Margaret married: Thomas Jennings, need to check who his parents were, if anyone can find them too, that would be brill!

So, John Trumble must have been born abt 1768 ?

Born a bit earlier than 1768, I would think. He married in 1770 and wasn't shown as a minor, so aged 21 or over, so 1749 or before.

Trumble seems to be quite a common name in the Durham area.

Found this (the application for the Marriage Licence for John Trumble and Ann). Although this record gives their ages, I can't see them anywhere on the image but it does confirm Ann's father as Daniel McAdam, Shipwright. John's occupation is given as Mariner.

How very interesting Potty, thank you very very much! So, Daniel was her father a Shipwright, and John Trumble was a Mariner, I never knew any of this! Wow!!! Great Potty!

It could be that Daniel McAdams married Margaret Morris, and that John Morris is linked to her, and that is how she got the middle name: Morris. Also, a Martha Whittle seem to be linked to a Daniel McAdams. However, seems very much the case that Margaret mother was: Margaret Morris. But not 100% sure, the name Morris is a big clue though! :-D Need further help with this...

I would be pretty sure that Margaret is the daughter of Daniel McAdams and Margaret Morris. It is very common in Scottish families to give the mother's maiden name as a second name. The Marriage Bond gives Daniel's occupation as Shipwright.

The marriage to Martha Whittle (1823) is too late to be that Daniel (he would have been about 100!). Possibly related but there is another Daniel with a wife Margaret living in Rotherhithe at about the same time.

Not finding any baptism for Ann but, of course, she could have been born anywhere, possibly Scotland or even Ireland!
