Have you looked at BULMER as a variation? In researching my wife's CALVERT
ancestors I have come across Samuel Bulmer who married Elizabeth Stonehouse
in Lythe in 1787. They had two children that I am aware of. These were
Richard(1789-1819) and Sarah. Sarah married James Calvert in Lythe in 1824.
If you want to contact me off list I can give you the email address of a
BULMER researcher.
