There's quite a few Mumberson folk living in Keswick on all the census

Do you have a Christian name for the one you are interested in

According to the papers Mr Matthias Mumberson of Old Park owned Swinside (33 acres of land, farmhouse, orchard, two cottages etc) and put it up for auction in 1854. Although Matthias owned the land it was in the occupation of John Bell who I believe farmed the land.
