Do you know if he or any of his descendants lived in the Newcastle, N.S.W. area after his arrival in Sydney?There was a Dumbrell family living at Jesmond, Newcastle, about 25 years ago - friends of my parents...the older generation, Albert and Margaret are now deceased, but there were children (adults in the 1960's)who may still be there. Albert Dumbrell Sr. owned a spring manufacturing business and his son, also Albert, carried on the business after the senior Albert retired.They may not be connected with you, but the name is not a common one (such as Smith, for example) and a check of the Newcastle telephone directory may give you a lead.Will. Smith, Canada (ex-Newcastle)
