Bulmer/Tinker/Hodge - (Kingston upon Hull - Yorkshire, East Riding)
I am g-g-g-granddaughter of George Bulmer who married Frances Tinker in about 1830. His son, Thomas, was married to Sarah Hodge, and they were described as "Seed Crushers" in census documents, believed to be involved in oil seed refinery. They lived in or around Sculcoates or Sutton. Of Thomas & Sarah's children, at least one, George Herbert, emigrated to Australia. Does anyone have any information or know of any descendants who might still be living in the Hull area?

RICHARD SIZER Engineers, Hull - (Kingston upon Hull - Yorkshire, East Riding)
My maternal great-great grandfather Charles Thompson Hardy married ELIZA SIZER in Hull in 1857 (marriage record confirmed). It is believed in the family that Eliza was related to the Richard Sizer who founded the engineering company of that name in Hull, but I can't confirm it. There seem to have been only two Sizer families in Hull (Sculcoates) in 1851, one of which included a Richard and a William both of whom were "forge men" and therefore likely to be the founders of Richard Sizer Ltd engineers, but there is no Eliza or Elizabeth in the family. Has anyone researched the Richard Sizer family?

Wright (Robert and Mary) - (Kingston upon Hull - Yorkshire, East Riding)
William (b. 1835) and Henry (b. 1837), sons of Robert and Mary, were born in Harford House, Howard Lane, Bradford, Yorkshire, England.
The two brothers removed to Brewster, MA USA and then Pawtucket, RI USA
I can not find this location or family in Bradford, England.
I did find in the 1841 Census a family that resembles this living in Reedness, Whitgift, Yorkshire, England. There were no parents listed as living with this family however along with William and Henry (of the right age) are an older sister Mary age 13 and older brother Robert 12 and a 2 year old sister Ellen.
However all the U.S. Census records state that William and Henry were born in Hull.

In 1851 John was described as a Victualler & Bricklayer living in Alfred Street! Were William and the younger Mary related? Can anyone provide any more information on these Johnsons?

John Dean, born Hull, about 1867. - (Kingston upon Hull - Yorkshire, East Riding)
Searching for the name of John Dean's mother. John Dean was born in Hull, about 1867 and was the son of Thomas Dean ( also of Hull). On John's marriage certificate, his father was named Thomas, a labourer. I have been unable to find John Dean in the 1871 or 1881 censuses when he would have been living with his parents and would have been about 4 years of age, and 14 years of age, respectively. According to information in the 1891 census, John was born about 1866/7. I haven't found his birth record yet, and I am not aware of any siblings.
John Dean married Jane Ann Penrose in 1887, in Hull. I hope that someone will be able to tell me who John's mother was as I haven't been able to find a record of Thomas Dean marrying anyone. Thomas Dean was born about 1841, so a marriage would have probably taken place somewhere between about 1863 and 1867, unless,of course, John's parents didn't marry. Thanks.
Family Surnames: Dean, Penrose.
