The name on the original of this 1851 is written as Rumbel:

A contender for Robert's parent's marriage:

Dorset, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1921

Name: William Rumbet (Rumbel on the page)
Marriage or Bann Date: 14 Jun 1836
Parish: Sturminster Marshall
Spouse's Name: Susanna Flippand

Witnesses: Ann Fleppent and Joseph Legg

Looks like the 1841 for the family:

ROBBINS, Edward M 25 1816 Dorset
ROBBINS, Elizabeth F 20 1821 Dorset
RUMBLE, William M 25 1816 Dorset Ag Lab
RUMBLE, Susana F 25 1816 Dorset

RUMBLE, Fanny F 3 1838 Dorset
RUMBLE, Robert M 1 1840 Dorset

Piece: 289 Book/Folio: 7/19 Page: 17
Registration District: Wimborne & Cranborne
Civil Parish: Sturminster Marshall

Came across this, honestly can't say if it's "our" William:

Dorset, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812

Name: William Rumbold
Event Type: Baptism
Event Date: 29 Jan 1809
Parish: Corfe Mullen
Father's Name: Edward Rumbold
Mother's Name: Hannah Rumbold

Born 27 December 1808

If (and it's only IF) that birth is right then this may be the parent's marriage:

Dorset, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812
Name: Edward Rumbald
Event Type: Banns (Bann)
Event Date: 16 Sep 1779 (NO! The other pages are 1804/5)
Parish: Corfe Mullen
Spouse's Name: Hannah Harbin

I have just started to make a tree for him, but I think it will take me a while. I have emailed all this on to him.

Christina, there's quite a bit of info to take in!

If I find anything else will post.

Thanks. I think I will try to trace the Humphries for him too. I only have John 1864(married to Susan Rumbold/Rumble) and maybe his parents,( John and Emma White married 1863 Wincanton) the dates seem to fit for them.

Christina, I'd strongly recommend getting some certificates to ensure accuracy on the Humphries line.

Ok. I will sort that out for him. That will confirm Beatrice's parents.

PM RECEIVED ...

Hi Mike,
On the "looking for ancestors" message board you let me have 1881 census for Eliza/Elizabeth Humphries b.1836 (widow,)
John b. 1864,
Elizabeth b.1868
Mary b. 1869
I wondered if you have access to earlier census as I want to see who her late husband was. I think he may have been John, and any other children they had.
The census would have been in Somerset, Wincanton area.
Thanks,
Chris.

Found this entry on familysearch but can't access the details.

Can anyone else fill in the marriage status of Elizabeth please ?


1871

self Elizabeth Humphries F 36 Wincanton, Somerset
son John Humphries M 6 Wincanton, Somerset
daughter Matilda Ann Humphries F 5 Wincanton, Somerset
daughter Bessy Humphries F 3 Wincanton, Somerset
daughter Mary Jane Humphries F 1 Wincanton, Somerset

-----------------------------------------------------------

possible marriage

Marriages Sep 1863
HUMPHRIES John - Wincanton 5c 867
WHITE Elizabeth - Wincanton 5c 867

She was a widow, and listed as a pauper.

Thanks MC.

Wonder if this is her husband's death ( he would have been a lot older than her )

Deaths Jun 1870
Humphries John- 64 - Wincanton 5c 375

Hi,
Thanks for the info. I think he must have been a lot older than Elizabeth. I found a really good site, Free Reg which gave me a lot of BMDs info on St Peter & St Pauls Church Wincanton. I found a marriage of a John Humphries 1833 to an Eliza Bailey, and then a death of an Eliza before 1863. That's when John Married Elizabeth White. I found about 15 children born to him!
I think the death of John 1870 is right as he's not on the 1871 census. I found a baptism of a John 25th Dec 1816 parents were John Humphries and Mary nee Napen. Often they waited a few years before baptising the children, and 3 of their children were all baptised on the same day as a job lot!
Thanks for everyone's help,
Chris.
