Message Board Post:
Ray,
My name is M. Leigh Johnson a grand-daughter of Floyd M. Bulmer, a first cousin to Thomas
Benjamin (Gabe) Carman of Nooksack, Washington. I knew Thomas as Gabe. He and my
grandfather were very close.
I've just started looking into the Bulmer side of my ancestry and found all of my
grandmother's lineage information which seems goes back to John and Jane (Morrell)
Bulmer of Durham (Darlington), England who immigrated to Kansas in 1869 and out to Whatcom
County, Washington 1870-ish. John was the father of Joseph who is brother to Catherine,
second wife of Israel Benoni Carman b. 1848. Joseph was father to Floyd M. Bulmer, my
grandfather.
I've been cruising the message boards and found this message of 2002. Todays date is
9/9/2004.
For any others reading this message I am specifically looking for the parents of John or
Jane Morrell Bulmer married in April, 1867, Darlington England. All the documentation our
family seems to have ends with the names John and Jane. I've just recently located
their grave sites in Nooksack, WA along with a few of their children.
It was good to find a connection. Ray, maybe you'll read this and I'll get to
hear from you. Thanks for your post.
Leigh
