Ian,
thank you for putting together such a great resource.
From memory our family came out in the early 1800's to Australia from Hull in Yorkshire.
Apparently they were boat builders

I just found this site,did'nt know there are so many brumbys out there.My dad,Raymond born 1926 in the medway towns in kent was the son of Herbert,he came from yorkshire.

Great website. Interesting to see so many Brumbys. My husbands family are from Flixborough nr Scunthorpe.

MY NAME IS HUNT BRUMBY..I AM FROM ATHENS GEORGIA...I SEE ALOT OF ENGLISH BRUMBYS ON HERE...I AM RELATED TO THOMAS BRUMBY WHO CAME FROM ENGLAND TO SOUTH CAROLINA...

My mother was Ann Wallis Brumby (Darling)
We are descended from Thomas Lyal Brumby,a native of Manchester England,that emigrated to South Carolina abt 1740 and settled in Georgetown,SC. His son Thomas married Susannah Greening. Thomas was appointed by Thomas Jefferson to the office of Surveyor of the Port of Charleston in 1803. They had five sons and two daughters. Their eighth child was Arnoldus Vanderhorst Brumby who married Ann Eliza Wallis.These are my great great grandparents. My question is do you have any history on My Thomas Brumby from Manchester? I have all the Brumby connections here. If I can help anyone else with names or dates I would do all I could to oblige. Thanks....

Hi I'm married to David Frederick Brumby,whose dad was Frederick George Solomon Brumby, his dad I beleive was Ernest Brumby

I'm the son of George Michael Brumby, born in London in 1954. My dads family hail from Lincolnshire, UK
A long time ago, a yorkshire army captain was posted to Australia. He took with him his prized horses. For reasons I don't know, he had to return to the UK and he released the horses into the wild. The stallions, being of a superior stock quickly became the lead stallions of wild heards and that is where the term 'Brumbies' come from. Hope this is of use to someone. Sorry I don't have more detailed information.
Love the site
Kind regards
Michael

one of my friends is a brumby!!!

Hey there cousin. Thanks for the tour of our famly tree the other night when we had the chance to catch up.
Can't believe how much work you have done on this. It is great to see.
Will be interesting to see if there are any more secrets that pop up.
Keep up the good work and thank you for your effort from all of us BRUMBY's.

Hi, I've just discovered that my husband Mike's great grandmother was a Brumby. She married Eardley Harrison in Horncastle in 1868 and appears in the 1871 census as Gertrude A Harrison,age 22,born Ailby, Lincs, while in the 1901 census she was Annie G Harrison, age 51. Eardley was born in Well, Lincs and worked as a corn merchant's traveller. He died in the Spilsby district in 1926 age 80. So far I haven't been able to track down anything further about Gertrude Annie, although IGI has a christening of an Ann Brumby in 1848 in Rigsby with Ailby, which is the right location and more-or-less the right date. Any further information gratefully received.
cheers, Linda Hall

Hi Ian - Thought I should do the right think and put an entry in your Guest Book. I have found your website amazing for the BRUMBY branch of my Family Tree. Happy to share with you at any time. Regards - Noel

Hi,

I'm currently doing my family tree on my dad's side, who's whole family is from Brumby and it's surrounding areas, and his great Grandmother was Martha Skinner (nee Brumby). She was born in Winteringham in the last quarter of 1861 to George Brumby and Mary Ann Brumby (nee Thorley). Martha's siblings were:
John William Brumby - born 1860
Thomas Brumby - born 1864
Mary Ann Brumby - bron 1867
Henry R Brumby - born 1870
Marshall Brumby - born 1872
Julia Brumby - born 1875

Martha's father George was born at the beginning of 1838 in Winteringham to William and Ann Brumby. George's siblings were:
William Brumby - born 1829
John Brumby - born 1831
James Brumby 1833
Thomas Brumby - born 1835
Charles Brumby - born 1840

Unfortunately none of these people seem to appear on this website, and I would be very grateful if anyone had anymore information on them.

My name is Verena Speers and i am searching for relations of Ellen Marshall Taylor and Leonard Brumby.

I have only recently discovered my family history and I am keen to find out more about my relatives and I would love to hear from any brumby relations.

My great grandmother was Mable Annie Brumby who married Alfred Leonard Weston. My grandfather Jack Keith Weston was the last of ten children and he was born in 1912.

Whilst researching my Hartley and Harrington ancestors from Cumberland and Liverpool respectively I have come across an individual with the middle name Brumby and wondering if that was an earlier ancestors surname? If anyone has any connection with those areas I'd love to hear from them. As far as I know, I have no connection to Lincolnshire...

My father was David James Brumby and we have a no. of cousins in NSW and Vic, but I don't know them. If possible check me out on Facebook, would love to say Hello!

Hi there;

Very interesting site. I'm looking for any information regarding my grandfather, William Brumby, born in Liverpool Apr.10, 1882. Any further information would be appreciated.

Hi great site.
I am looking for information on Jmaes William brumby who married Eileen Maude (Cox) ancestors of Robert Brumby and James Charles Brumby. My mother is a Brumby and I dont seem to be able to find any info on James. Could anyone help? Thanks.

Hi there, not sure if I have any relatives out there, I know my Grandparents are no longer alive, their names were Albert and Evelyn Brumby. My fathers name is Keith Brumby, however I have no contact with him since I was a young child. My D.O.B is 09/03/1976.
