Camm/Kemm

NoelKemm2 — 2011-09-08 21:06:51Z

If you haven't discovered it already, CAMM is a variant spelling of KEMM (and OF CAM, KEM, KEMB, KEMBE). In my family, based in Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire, England, the change took hold in the latter 1700s. One line followed CAMM, another KEMM. The later came to the US (PA) in the mid-1800s; however, the 1850 Census taker misspelled my gr-gr-grandfather's name as Samuel Camm. I'd be happy to share my info with anyone connected.

Just another thought. I see that you know that James Camm married Jane POPE. Have you managed to trace her family further back?

Hi,

Thank you so much for this as it allows me to trace the Camms further back. My mother's parents were Jack Caton and Ellen Cordeaux (page 3 of your attachments) and I therefore have more information about that branch of the family. If I need any more information from you after I have digested what you have sent me, then I will contact you. I can be reached on daviwright at aol dot com

Camm from Johnstown, NY

duncanhsu2002 — 2009-09-23 12:43:12Z

I am looking for information regarding my great-great grandfather, George E. Camm, Sr. He was born January 15, 1844 in England (I would love to know where). He came to the United States as a young man, and settled in Johnstown, NY sometime around the Civil War.

He was a jeweler, engraver, and watchsmith.

He married Dorothy Nellis (b. Dec 13, 1843, d. Dec 4, 1927)

At the time of 1869, he and his business partner, Eli R. Dorn, owned a jewelry business on North Side Main in Johnstown, Camm & Dorn.

A 1907 business guide to Johnstown has an entry for George, Sr.:

GEORGE E. CAMM - Practical watchmaker and optician, No. 8 East Main Street. This concern was established in the year 1868, and it has been in the present location since the year 1888. Mr. G. E. Camm is the proprietor and since he took charge of the business he has advanced steadily and conservatively until he has placed his business among the leading establishments of its kind in the city. He has sound business sense, a thorough knowledge of his art, and believes in fair and honorable dealing with his patrons. His store is well stocked with high class goods. The large patronage which he enjoys demonstrates the wisdom of the careful business policies which he has pursued. There is also a work and repair chop where the finest work is done, particular attention being given also to the finest kind of engraving. Mr. Camm has taken care of the school clocks of the city for thirty-five years. Mr. Camm is also a practical optician, and has two assistants.

He died in Johnstown on July 29, 1919.

My grandfather, Edwin Sturdevant Camm, died on August 4, 2002, in Johnstown, NY. Edwin was the grandson of George E. Camm, Sr. His father was George E. Camm, Jr.

Any information would be greatly appreciated! My name is Duncan Hsu. My mother, Ruth Camm, is Edwin Camm's oldest daughter. I can be reached at duncanhsu2002@yahoo.com

Ida Elizabeth Hulverson and Thomas Henry Camm m. 1894 Michigan

PamelaFoster44 — 2009-09-23 12:42:36Z

I am looking for descendants of Ida Hulverson b. 1874, daughter of Hulver and Jane Van Camp Hulverson of Sanilac County Michigan and Thomas Camm b. 1860 and son of John Camm and Mary Bailey. The John Camms may be from Huron County, Canada. Ida and Thomas are to have had at least one child named Howard. Ida would have been a year old when Hulver, her fathr, married my great great grandmother, Clarissa Van Camp Way.

CAMMs of Aldgate, London

daviwright — 2009-01-16 16:29:31Z

I am stuck at James CAMM born about 1861 in Aldgate, London.

I have an entry on the 1861 Census 5 Marsh Row, Poplar, Middx (RG 9/310 P99) and the 1881 Census 3 Strafford Street, Poplar, Middlesex (RG 11/510 p19)

From these I see that he married Jane ? from the Isle of Wight. They had several children: Jane, Thomas, Joseph, Henry, James and John.

I am trying to find the next generation back.

Hi there,

I can't directly help you with your query but you may be able to help me with mine. I am possibly descended from a Sarah Camm who married a John Savidge in the mid 1830's. My problem is, is that there are two John Savidge's who married girls called Sarah within a couple of years of each other and I am trying to determine which one is mine as it were. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

My wife is related to the Alfred Morrisson (1835-1899) and Irene Turnage (1857-1945). In her possession is a photocopied "Keepsake" booklet containing a newsclipping article on the John Camm and Betsy Hansford marriage. Underneath the article is the handwritten note: "Our grandparents several times removed." Is anyone able to help us make the connection between Morrisson and Camm?

Trying to trace middle life and demise of Mary Camm, born 1805, Lancaster, England. She MAY have become Mary Hayes in 1832, (kendal) - certainly a Mary Camm married William Arkley Hay in that year.

The latter name had various corruptions, Hayes being one of them.

Hi Ian,

or should I say cuz. Mary Ann Hopkins/Austin/Camm/Austin was my great grandmother on the Camm side. I have heaps on the family, and have just been trying to sort out your immediate family after obtaining the newspaper death notice for Phyllis Daisie a couple of weeks ago and the details seem to differ from what I had previously been told. I also have close contact with another desendant on the Austin/Slattery side.

Re: Camms in Yorkshire and nearby in 1700''s

JacquelineMurawski — 2003-03-19 06:46:16Z

Is she the one with Ironmonger inher name? Don't remember right now if it was a middle or last name. If so, then yes I have seen it. The copy I saw was made on an old mimograph machine and was of poor quality. Half of the ink had disappeared. It had very little on my particular John Hansford (who moved to West Virginia) but I did get some gleamings from it.

My husband and I are trying to "round out" the Hansfords and add in the siblings, etc which is why we are in search of the Camm family.

Can you you tell me any sources for the Camms that we can look at?

Thanks
Jackie

I am looking for any information on Martha Camm Ambrose (my great-great-grandmother).
She was born in 1837 and died on 24 Sep 1897 in Birkdale, near Southport, England.
She married Charles Ambrose sometime around 1860 and had at least two children, Thomas (who emigrated to the US) and a daughter who may have married into a family named Wright. My research has shown that the Wrights still live in England today.

If you have any information, please contact me. Thanks!

Last week a woman in our town discovered the grave of William Camm, while repaving her sidewalk. The stone reads:
"Bewildered parents weep not for me for I am at rest rejoicing on my savior's breast. Prepare to meet me on heaven's happy shore where we shall meet to part no more."

William was the son of Joseph C Marth F. Camm. He was born March 2, 1814 and died March 27, 1818.

If any one has any information on this family, please let me know. I am a local historian.

SALSBURY — 2001-07-29 21:20:34Z

James,
I was wondering if there was any more information pertaining to the Camm family and Newtown, PA. I know that you posted a message about a Camm Church or Church connection. What did you mean by that? I know that the head of the Newtown Historical Society has tried to research this family, but he had no luck finding descendents of the Camms. I would like to get copies of any of the information you have on this family. When this story ran in our newspaper, it was front page for a week! We take our history very seriously around here. It seems that your ancestors played a relativley big part in that history. If you could get me the names of the the other children and any other vital information you have on the family I can assure you that this story will run on the front page of the Bucks County Courier Times. Please e-mail me at LSals420@aol.com. I was wondering where you live.

Re: Joseph Martha Camm

Josephs parents were William Camm and Elizabeth Grant. Williams parents were John Camm and Rachel I think. There are many more families involved and I hav some of them in my records such as the Feasters, Hegamans,Cornells and others. The Willim You talked about was Edwards brother. He was born in 1844 and died in 1888. I didn't move far from my roots, I live in New Hope, PA. I would love to have a copy of the news paper story you talked about.

Re: Joseph Martha Camm

My grandmother was a very Quiet women and never really talked about family Even to my mother. Edward's father and mother were Joseph C Camm and Martha Feaster. Joseph's father and mother were William Camm and Elizabeth Grant. William's parents were John Camm and Rachel ?. The william on your tombstone was Edwards brother. He was born in 1844 and died in 1888. Ihave more information on other families such as the Feasters, Hagemens Cornells and others. Hope this gets through this time.
