Dear Roger,

It was good to hear from you and yes, my great grandfather Henry K-B was indeed born in 1834. I have recently been in touch with another relative from Australia who has sent me a very good family tree which I have found most helpful as I knew very little about the Kelway Bambers. Would be interested in hearing more from you.

Bambers of Bolton

rogerhenderson53 — 2012-10-04 20:32:01Z

I am researching the Bambers of Bolton,Lancs, and their descendants. Brothers, William, John and Thomas were all timber merchants between 1818 and 1850. This is proving to be a surprising difficult topic. Anybody else working on this area? I would be glad to hear from you.

Cheers,

kimmiebonasorte — 2011-11-20 16:46:36Z

Thanks for the info. I am trying to locate Bamber photos to post as well.

Re: Old Bamber Photos taken in England

mavis333 — 2011-11-20 06:34:29Z

All the old photos have been posted on my Ancestry.com free tree. I you wish to have photos from there, you just need to copy and paste to your own computer.

I would like those who also have photos to post their photos so we can see if there are any similarities to the people's features. If you have Bamber photos - please post them here...or to a free Ancestry.com tree you can build.

As I said before..these photos may just be of the "Oswell" family from King's Lynn, Norfolk, England and not 'Bambers' at all...that is why we need to establish which family they belong to by comparing your old Bamber photos to the ones I have posted.

Re: Old Bamber Photos taken in England

kimmiebonasorte — 2011-11-19 23:36:45Z

I happen onto your post from 2007...my mom was born a Bamber and I'm not sure of her heritage. Can you still send photos to me???

Hello!

I'm so glad you found my message! We have been trying to find Bamber related cousins for a long time. I would love to exchange information and fill in the blanks of all our cousins. I'm sure we could get a copy of the diary to you. My mother and I used it to make our own visit back to Ireland several years ago. We have pictures we could share with you too. Please send me a direct email at hearo1@gmail.com.

Thank you,

Hey, I just somehow finally found this thread after searching for months for this info. Thank you so much for posting this info I could not find anywhere I was searching. The Uncle "Will" you mentioned is my great, great grandfather. I've never heard that he had a diary. I'm very curious and interested in I might be able to obtain a copy of the diary. My family has heard very little about this line and we're very curious to find out more.

Do you have info on the Coop nephews that settled along with the Bamber/Threlfall's? I found info that states two of the nephews were sent with these families. Have to go back thru my files to get spec names.

Would love to share what I have and see what info you have found.

Re: Bamber - Lancashire to Monroe Co. Illinois

kutterer — 2011-07-04 15:31:51Z

Have some info from a St Clair County historical book. Would be glad to try to help you and share info. I know we share the Ellen Bamber thread and the Threlfall too.

Re: Bamber Family -- Lancashire to Illinois

kutterer — 2011-07-04 15:29:47Z

I have info, names/dates/marriages but not much else. Would love to compare/share/trade info.

Looking for more info on the Volkmann family. Have you run into anything with that surname? I'm thinking that there weren't that many people in this Praire du Long area and probably knew/linked somehow. Finding info in the Hecker/Paderborn area....Had a link to the Heap family but this seems to go round in circles.....what a HUGE family!

Re: Bamber of Prairie du Long Township, IL

kutterer — 2011-07-04 15:21:10Z

I too have lineage back to the Bambers/Threllfalls/Coops from this Praire du Long area. I'm looking to find more information on these folks and I have a picture that no one in the living family can identify. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to share info.

Hi Karen,
I'm in touch with Marilyn Locke whose grandmother was Agnes BAMBER who married Ralph Locke in the Campbellford area.
Marilyn remembers quite a few Bamber relatives and who they married. I will ask her and then give you the information if she knows anything about an Ida Bamber.

As for the Urquart surname - I came across this name while browsing my grandmother NEALON's funeral book. Apparently, and Urquart attended and signed her book.

Re: SEARCHING FOR BAMBER'S FROM N. IRELAND

CABambi — 2011-04-17 15:49:10Z

still looking? David Bamber (married to Elizabeth Magee)is son of William John Bamber and Agnes Rodgers (married 1897 in Antrim)William John born 1869 in Ballymena and died Belfast 1918.
Elizabeth Magee is daughter of John Magee and Margaret Jane Idles. They were married 1889-90. The signatures of John, Margaret Jane, William John, and Agnes can all be found on the Covenant/Declaration signed in Belfast.
I believe Agnes Rodgers father is named Thomas and that William John Bamber's father is named David and mother is possibly Rose Ann Dickey. Can anyone elaborate further...I'm a bit stuck at this point.

Re: SEARCHING FOR BAMBER'S FROM N. IRELAND

lynbern — 2010-12-23 18:29:48Z

We have only just checked out this message from you and are still interested. Could be then that you are a cousin! There was a Samuel and I traced his will at the Northern Ireland ancestry site.

My grandfather was Thomas Bamber

Hopefully will do a bit more research over this holiday period.

Re: Oswald Bamber

rosemaryramm1 — 2010-12-21 15:51:16Z

Dear Mr. Taylor,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, and yes, my Oswald is the son of Thomas and Sarah, although her name was Sallie, born in Oswaldkirk Yorkshire., and he was in Leavonsworth prison, incarceration date 26 April 1918. so he is definately the same Oswald Bamber as you are researching.
I too have requested the file of his prison record, but as yet have not received it due to the bad weather delaying postal deliveries, I also had an address where I could request a copy of the court proceedings, but I have not done that as yet.
Oswald seems to have criss crossed the Atlantic quite a few times, and I have tried to follow his movements with ship's passenger lists etc.
I believe that after his first wife ( Kate ) died, he sent his two daughters back to the U.K. to be brought up by their grandmother Sallie in Yorkshire, and I have had a lot of photographs sent to me by the son of Isobel Mary, Kate's daughter.
He informed me that after Oswald married again he had a son Arther, but he didn't have any more information about him.
What relation are you to Oswald ? and where do you live ?
I'm sure that the prison file will make interesting reading, so I hope it comes soon.
I have not heard of a Marion Edge at all.
I have quite a lot of information about the Bambers and the Thorpes.
Please feel free to e-mail me directly, if you wish, instead of going through the ancestry message board.
My e-mail address is rosemaryramm1@yahoo.co.uk in case you have mislaid it.
If I don't hear from you soon, have a happy Christmas.

Regards,

Rosemary

Re: Oswald Bamber

betaylor111 — 2010-12-21 04:26:01Z

Dear Rosemary,

Following is a communication I received from the National Archives regarding Oswald Bamber's incarceration at Leavenworth prison. If your Oswald is the son of Thomas and Sarah, he is my Oswald who was convicted in Detroit, MI of violating the Immigration Act. I am going to request the 35 page prison file including photograph and I have an address to request the court proceedings documents. I am wondering if the violation involved the cross-border adoption of my father and his siblings. Family lore has it that the father of the children forced the mother to give up the children - perhaps for money. Perhaps the court proceedings will reveal the relationship between Marion Edge and Oswald Bamber.

Dear Mr. Taylor,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding Oswald Bamber which was forwarded to me to answer. I have located inmate number 12319 listed as Oswald Bamber, white male. I have recorded some information to assist you. According to our records, Oswald entered the penitentiary on April 26, 1918, charged with violating the Immigration Act and was convicted in Detroit, Michigan. He listed his age in 1918 as 34 years old which would indicate he was born about 1884. His file indicated that he was born in England. Furthermore he listed his mother as Sarah and his father as Thomas. He also indicated that he was married, though his wife was deceased at the time of his incarceration. His intake form does not mention the name of his wife. The file includes 35 pages including a photograph.

Re: Oswald Bamber

betaylor111 — 2010-12-20 19:52:54Z

Hi Rosemary, my name is Burt Taylor. My Oswald Bamber was associated with a woman named Marion Edge who lived in Vancouver around 1915. It appears that between 1916 and 1919 they put up three children for adoption in the Windsor, Ontario/Detroit, Michigan area, one of whom was my father. Around 1919 Bamber was involved is some kind of deportation activity and Marion Edge returned to England where the fourth child was born and remained in the custody of Edge near Brighton. I have requested information from Leavenworth about the Oswald Bamber record there and that seems to fit with fear and loathing about him in family lore. I have only guest status on ancestry.com so limited ability to communicate with you. If you email me at betaylor@sbcglobal.net I can forward a letter from Eric (Anthony) to you along with thoughts and questions it raises for me. All the best, Burt

Re: Oswald Bamber

rosemaryramm1 — 2010-12-20 11:22:08Z

Hi betaylor, many thanks for getting back to me.
The Oswald Bamber that I have been researching was born in Oswaldkirk Yorkshire England in 1886, he went to Vancouver with Kate Rosabel Joy and they were married on 7th Dec 1910.
They had two daughters, but in 1915 Kate died in Portland
Oregon, I do know that Oswald married again but I don't know the name of his second wife.
I don't somehow think that this is your Oswald Bamber as I found him in 1918 in the U.S Penitentiary Leavonsworth Kansas !, something to do with immigration laws.
Anyway, let me know if I can help at all.
Best wishes and happy Christmas.

Re: Oswald Bamber

betaylor111 — 2010-12-19 07:01:33Z

Rosemary, I am researching an Oswald Bamber who was associated in some way with a woman named Marion Edge in Ontario Canada/Detroit Michigan between 1915 and 1920. One or both may have been the parent of four children: Buster, Burt, Patricia and Eric. Ring any bells?
