Peter Emery Pullman B1853

sherianderson1 — 2009-10-15 18:16:36Z

I am trying to find out what happened to this man. I cannot find anything about him after the 1871 census. He was born in 1856 in Greenwich London England.
He could be part of the last surviving ancestor to this family in East London.

Thanks

My Grandfather was Harry Pullman from the same town/area in Wales. He moved to East London and then into Essex. One of his brothers was called Edwin. Any other infor on their family tree/history would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to build a family tree for my Father Anthony Pullman (one of three sons that Harry had. The other two were Gerrald and Michael Pullman. I am sure many of our family still live in the South Wales area.

Re: George M. Pullman

zephyr911 — 2007-12-13 03:05:05Z

Hello,

I am very interested in the history of the Pullman family and will tell you what I know of my family. My grandmother, Virginia Louise Pullman (maiden name) told me that their family originally came from York England. There were 7 brothers, 6 of whom came to America. Some of the original brothers were John (who supposedly stayed in England), Peter (I have a picture of him), and Garbutt or Garbard. Somehow, we are supposed to be related to the Pullmans of railroad fame and my grandmother's mother did indeed receive free railroad passes and knew relatives in the Chicago area. My Pullman family lived in Alexandria, Virginia. My great uncle, E. H. Pullman died 5 years ago. He was the last of my direct line of Pullmans. Does any of this sound familiar?

The parties were married in Chicago, May 19, 1877. Do you know anything about this?

It also said that he his profession was traffic engineering, although I don't know if that means and engineer or a truck driver.

I am looking for information on William John Pulman, born Musbury Devon 1885/6 He is shown on the 1901 census as living in Liverpool, due to marriage dates etc he must have been there for almost 20 years.

Can anyone help me with info on him/his family in Devon before the 1891 census? much thanks

More Info

2002-11-30 19:29:05Z

I found him in the 1880 census. He was born 1877 in Michigan. His father was Charles Pullman born in 1854 in New York and His mother was Ella, born 1856 in Michigan. At the time of the census they had Arza and an infant daughter Mertie A. Pullman. I haven't found Arza's wife Enza in the census so she was probably born after 1880. They had five children: Willis LaVerne, Wilfred Joseph, Zelma, Zella Grace, and Zola. Willis and Wilfred married sisters Nellie and Mildred Gibbs, daughters of Victor Bois Gibbs and Elizabeth Jane Olmsted. If anyone's connected or knows of this family I would love to correspond!

Pulmans of Devon and Liverpool

neetie67 — 2003-06-04 10:31:09Z

Hi,
I am looking for Pulmans from Musbury in Devon, I have William John Pulman, (married to Amy Pulman) who was born in Musbury but moved to Liverpool at some point.

By 1901 William was 46 and he and Amy had 8 children:
William age 15
John age 13
Helen age 11
Amy age 14
Peter age 6
George age 5
Dorothy age 2
Robert age 1

another son, Thomas, was born in 1907 +/- 1
and I suspect there may have been other children born between 1900 (Robert) and 1907 (Thomas)
Thomas (Frederick) Pulman died age 23 in Oct 1917 and is mentioned on a memorial of the lost in Belgium, by which time William was already dead.
Peter (Leader) Pulman died age 35 in July 1942 and buried in the Heliopolis War Cemetery, Cairo

Dorothy moved to Canada at some point and all contact was lost.

Re: George M. Pullman

sbobbett — 2002-05-05 04:00:07Z

I was just browsing as I have been bidding and looking up material on the internet regarding George Pullman. When I was a little girl I lived in the hamlet of Fleming, NY where I believe your George M. Pullman, Jr. lived. This was in the forties and fifties. He lived a sort of hermit life and was know by the locals as being of the Pulllman family. He used to sit out on his porch steps all the time drinking his beer, which he used to buy across the road at the Larkin Store (now closed).
I had no knowledge of his ancestors only that he was related to George M. Pullman of the Pullman Industries. My husband worked for an antique collector at one time and this man bought a pullman suitcase filled with pullman momentos.
He paid a "pretty penny for it" I understand. Every year when the town of Fleming would have a Fireman's Field Day, old George would lead the parade. He was like a hobo. I probably can't tell you any more unless I ask my Aunt maybe she will remember something about him as she lived in the hamlet, also. Most of the people are dead and gone now.
Good Luck, Shirley

Re: George M. Pullman

braidwoman — 2004-09-21 22:38:39Z

Its possible that the Pullman family genealogy is a fake, perpetrated in the 19th century by a man called Anjou. In my family there is also a tradition that there is a connection to the Pullman family, of railway fame. It seems impossible to search for this connection without coming up against this fake genealogy (on Family Search it takes you suspiciously rapidly and efficiently back to one of the First Families!). It would fit in with my information of the family originated in West Yorkshire, England and emigrated to America some time in the 18th century.
