William's Grandson

Arthur (born 1861) was the father of Mr A (Arthur) Dumville, born in October 1905.

On 10 December 1968 Mr A Dumville wrote a letter (from 77 Weigall Road, Lee Green, London SE12) to Martin Dunville, USA (Jill Holroyd has a copy of the letter). He had been told by his sister that

'... my great grandfather (ie Robert, 1796-1887, Molecatcher Robert's eldest son) was married at Ripon Cathedral, in the 1820s.'

Mr A Dumville had one daughter, Elaine, almost 21 in 1968 (born 1947). In 1968 he had one sister still living, aged 72. Two brothers had died, each aged over 70.

Mr A Dumville had worked for 46 years for United Glass Ltd, becoming Director. He lived in London all his life except for six years' war service. He joined the Territorial Army in early 1939

'... when Hitler was throwing his weight about, and I was embodied, as we call it in England in late August 1939, being in the Gunners. I was one of the original B.E.F. and in due course I became what we called ourselves the 'Dunkirk Harriers', and landed back in England in June, 1940.'

His father, Arthur, was also in the glass industry, and worked as an engineer at Castleford, near Leeds, Yorkshire, and at least two other glass works on the north east coast before Mr A Dumville's birth.
