Hi,
I've collected quite a bit of information about the BAMBER surname through research and correspondence, mostly in Lancashire, England.
My great great grandmother was Mary Ann Bamber, born 24.August 1825, father Thomas Bamber, a shopkeeper in Manchester.
Mary Ann Bamber married James Townley 24. February 1846 in Manchester.
On the 1851 census of Manchester I found eleven BAMBER households, but I have not recorded the names.
I have corresponded with 4 coresearchers on the BAMBER surname and I have their interests on file.
Look forward to hearing from you - meanwhile I will sort my files out!
