Hey Matt,
I don’t know if you’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT to verify genealogical records, but…WE ARE DEFINITELY RELATED!!! You are my third cousin twice removed. It took about twenty minutes to establish my line to Malen and Alice, and then about 30 seconds to link us :)
I used ChatGPT a couple of weeks ago to establish a line between myself and Jack Cornwell VC on my mum’s side of the family. It was incredible. This morning, I used it to establish a link to Sydney Rumbelow, who founded the Rumbelows chain of shops. Amazing. (FYI - he is my first cousin once removed).
Then I decided to see if it could work out the chain to link us together.
And it did.
Malen Rumbelow who emigrated to Encounter Bay is my great, great, great, great grandfather. WE ARE RELATED!!
I should add that all your research on Rumbelow.net was mined extensively by ChatGPT.
Well done to you, Peter, Lesley, Mary and co. Woohoo!!
Fortunately, I have copies of quite a few death certificates and marriage certificates going back to my Great, Great, Great Grandfather, William Rumbelow who married Sarah Pammenton. That was pivotal.
Plugged it all into ChatGPT which did the rest.
Absolutely amazing. So chuffed.

1832 John Rumbelow (2nd) marriage
There is the only William Rumbelow that I can find born in Suffolk in 1833 plus or minus 1 year. We believe that that William Rumbelow married Ann Rees.
Here is the 1841 census showing Malen & Alice and family. Why wasn’t William listed with them?
Here is the 1851 census and again William is not shown in this family. And neither is Godfrey.
Godfrey was living with the Flatt family. Similar to Arthur Rumbelow. Why?
Here is the marriage of Sarah Pammenton/Parmenter/Pamenton to William Rumbelow. William’s father is shown as John Rumbelow. William’s birth record in Cambridgeshire
1841 census.
As this William is a painter/journeyman I believe that he is the one who married Sarah Ann Hart in 1894.
As his mother is shown as a widow then that also ties in with William stating that his father was deceased at the time of his marriage.
William Rumbelow’s father’s name was William. The first one is a transcript of the Banns whilst the second is a transcript of the marriage.
