In 1815 the new immigrants to Prince Edward Island included a family of Dumvilles from England: father James Sr (39), sons Thomas (15), Joseph (11), Edward (6), and Samuel (5), and a pregnant wife who delivered a son, Thomas Jr, after landing (the ages are approximate). Many descendants of James Sr believe he was the son of Henry Dumville (born in 1725 in Ireland, died in 1789 in Scotland) who was the son of Edmund Dumville (born in about 1701 in Ireland, died in 1762 in Olney, Buckinghamshire).
James Dumville (b 1837) was the first child of Thomas Dumville (c1800-1890) and Janet Dumville née Jardine (b c1807), and a grandson of James Dumville (b c1776).

Sergeant Allister George Dumville, Royal Canadian Air Force, was born on 28th November 1915 in Oak Point, Bonaventure County, Quebec. On 30th July 1941 he married Leona Irene Forrest, a registered nurse attached to Miramichi Hospital in Newcastle, New Brunswick.
Allister died during the Second World War on 3rd November 1941, at the age of 25, when the Hawker Hurricane he was flying came down near Pelton Fell, which is near Chester-le-Street in County Durham. He is buried in the Hylton (Castletown) Cemetery in Sunderland.
The residents of Pelton Fell are replanting a memorial wood, known as The Forty Trees, to restore the number of trees to forty. They discovered that Sergeant Dumville's Hawker Hurricane came down near The Forty Trees, and are planning to include him on the memorial wood plaque.
