Are there any descendants of William Charles MUMFORD (1853 Lambeth, Surrey, England–1889 Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia) reading this posting?
This William Charles was the eldest offspring and the only English-born one of eleven children of Hertford-born bricklayer and builder Edward MUMFORD junior (1825 Hertford–1898 Wagga Wagga) and his wife Grace PEACOCK (1834 Tillington, W. Sussex–1910 Wagga Wagga).
Edward MUMFORD junior was in turn the eldest son of Hertford bricklayer Edward MUMFORD senior (c1791-before 1881) and his wife Mary SOUTH (c1791 Great Hormead, Herts-1883). It appears they had married in 1822.
William Charles married Emma Luisa STICKLAND in Carlton, Melbourne, c1879, and they had the following offspring:
• Ethel Louisa MUMFORD b. 1879 Wagga Wagga who married George M.A. MAY in 1899 Wagga Wagga.
• William Edward MUMFORD b: 1881 Wagga Wagga d. 1882 Wagga Wagga
• Grace Ann MUMFORD b: 1883 Wagga Wagga, who married George BROADFOOT in 1909 Wagga Wagga.
• May MUMFORD b: 1885 Wagga Wagga d. before 1889 (obviously no descendants)
• Herbert George MUMFORD b. 1886 [check]
• Charles James MUMFORD b: 1889 Wagga Wagga d. 1940 Newtown, Sydney, who married Amelia McKENZIE (MACKENZIE) ?? Wagga Wagga
In the 19th century, the Mumfords of this family were based in Hertford and neighbouring Bengeo. For several generations some of the men were in the building trade as bricklayers and brickmakers. Two such bricklayers, Edward MUMFORD junior (1825-1898) with wife Grace PEACOCK (1834-1910) (parents of the above-mentioned William Charles) and his brother William MUMFORD (c1835-1890s) with wife Frances SKEGGS (c1835-1914) emigrated to NSW in 1855-56 and 1858-59 respectively, settling first in the Camden-Picton area, and then from early 1860 in Wagga Wagga.
