The Bulmers are believed to have been a Northern England family of
Anglo-Saxon origin who managed to retain their holdings after the
Norman Conquest. Anketil de Bulmer, was high sheriff of North
Yorkshire in the 12th-century, and appeared to have taken his name
from the village of Bulmer in the Ryedale district. He and his son
Bertram de Bulmer were in possession of both Brancepeth and Raby
Castles in County Durham, but these passed through an heiress to the
Neville family by the close of that century. An offshoot of the
family settled at Wilton a manor in the very north-eastern tip of
Cleveland in the North Riding, near the mouth of the River Tees. The
family reached a peak with Sir Ralph Bulmer (c.1280-1348), who
received license to crenellate Wilton Castle in 1330, served as
sheriff of Yorkshire 1330-1348, and was summoned to Parliament as a
baron from 1344-48. But none of Sir Ralph's descendants were ever
summoned in respect to the barony, and the family's influence seemed
to lessen in the late 14th and 15th centuries. It was across the
River Tees in county Durham where succeeding generations of Bulmers
looked for wives, marrying into such prominent gentry families as
Hilton of Hilton, Eure of Bradley, and Bowes of Streatlam. Yet none
of these marriages brought the Bulmers any lands to augment their
holdings, and by the time Sir Ralph Bulmer of Wilton (c.1450-1486) was
head of the family at the close of the Yorkist era, the inheritance
had stayed the same for close to 75 years.
Shortly before his death, Sir Ralph managed to arrange a brilliant
marriage for his son and heir William Bulmer (born 1465). The closest
castle to Wilton Castle is Skelton, less than 4 miles east. In the
1480s, it was the chief seat of the very old, mentally-impaired widow
Joan, Countess of Kent. Her youngest daughter Alice had married the
son and heir of the powerful Richmondshire knight, Sir John Conyers of
Hornby Castle (c.1420-1490). Since both his son and heir and his
daughter-in-law Alice died before him, it was up to Sir John to
arrange the marriages of their four orphaned children. He looked to
the baronial Scropes of Bolton Castle, a fellow Richmondshire family,
for the marriages of his grandsons and (successively) heirs apparent,
but for Margery Conyers, the elder of his two granddaughters, he
looked to the Bulmers of Wilton Castle. Knowing that Skelton Castle
would someday soon be the inheritance of his grandson and heir William
Conyers, marrying the elder of his grandson's two sisters to the
neighboring family of Bulmer would solidify the Conyers influence in
Cleveland. Margery's marriage portion wasn't lands, so it much have
been cash, and since her grandfather was one of the wealthiest of all
the Yorkshire gentry, and, with the reign of Richard III, whose
trusted advisor he was and who made him a Knight of the Garter, at the
height of his power and influence, no doubt provided with a generous
one.
William Bulmer succeeded his father in 1486 with a wife who not only
was of the bloodline of Edward III, but who was closely related to
most of the leading families of Richmondshire. Her brother William
Conyers succeeded to Hornby Castle in 1490 and to Skelton Castle the
following year, and the two families remained close throughout Margery
and William's lifetimes. An able soldier and administrator, William
first served as J.P. for the North Riding in 1496, and was knighted
during the 1497 Scottish campaign of the Earl of Surrey. Indeed Sir
William would achieve the greatest influence of any Bulmer since Sir
Ralph in the first half of the 14th century: he was sheriff and
escheator of Durham from 1503-1516, sheriff of Yorkshire 1517-1518,
and again sheriff and escheator of Durham from 1523-1527. He was
elected M.P for Yorkshire in 1523 and lieutenant of Norham Castle,
Northumberland the same year. The increased influence of the Bulmer
family is demonstrated by the marriages Sir William was able to
arrange for his children. His one daughter Margery was married off
locally to George Salvin, heir of Newbiggin, which was less than 20
miles from Wilton Castle, but eldest son and heir Sir John Bulmer was
married to Anne Bigod, from a prominent East Riding gentry family,
while Sir William managed to land heiresses as wives for his two
younger sons. Sir Ralph Bulmer (d. 1558) married Anne Aske, elder
daughter and co-heir of Roger Aske of Aske. Their only daughter
Dorothy Bulmer (1533-1574) married John Sayer of Worsall. Sir
William's youngest son, another Sir William Bulmer (1492-1546) was
arranged in marriage in 1498 to Elizabeth Elmeden, the child heiress
of Embleton, Tursdale and other manors in county Durham. By his death
in 1531, Sir William Bulmer had greatly increased his family's
influence.
It would prove to be the pinnacle, however, for eldest son and heir
Sir John Bulmer became a participant along with his second wife in the
Pilgrimage of Grace and both were put to death in 1537 as a result,
and attainted and Wilton Castle and the other Bulmer manors were
forfeited to the crown. The marriage of Sir John Bulmer and Anne
Bigod produced two sons, Ralph and William (d.s.p.), and three
daughters: Anne, who married Matthew Boynton of Barmston, Agnes who
married Lancelot Layton of Sexhow, and Elizabeth who married 1st,
Henry Nalton of Eddlethorpe and 2nd Francis Constable of Sherburn.
For his second wife, Sir John took his mistress, Margaret, widow of
William Cheyne, and daughter of Henry Stafford. She is said in some
sources to have been the illegitimate daughter of Edward Stafford, 3rd
Duke of Buckingham. By his second wife, he had some children before
their marriage, and a son, John Bulmer of Pinchinthorpe (1536-1608,
s.p.), born after the marriage. Sir John's son and heir Ralph Bulmer
(d. 1558) was restored in blood by Parliament in 1548, but not to
Wilton Castle and the other Yorkshire Bulmer estates. His marriage to
Anne Tempest, arranged when they were children, was a disaster on a
personal level, and of the seven daughters born during their marriage,
Ralph would only recognize the first three as his own. The year 1558
saw the male line of the two eldest sons of Sir William Bulmer and
Margery Conyers become extinct.
The line of the third and youngest son, Sir William Bulmer and his
wife Elizabeth Elmeden, continued on for several generations in county
Durham. Their great-grandson Sir Bertram Bulmer (1579-1638) was
seated at Tursdale in that county, and was living in great splendor
during the reign of James I, who knighted him in 1603. His children
were able to make good marriages. The eldest son William Bulmer
(1601-1682) obtained Marrick Park Hall in Yorkshire through his wife
Dorothy, a co-heiress of the Sayers of Worsall, while two of his
daughters married into established Durham gentry families: Margaret to
John Smythe of Eshe, and Troth to John Brandling of Felling. Second
son Anthony Bulmer (1602-1683) married as his second wife, Mary, widow
of John Wild of Ketton, co. Durham, and daughter of Christopher
Wyvill. But the family suffered for their Catholic faith: Sir Bertram
lost much of his paternal inheritance and joined the many English
Catholics who emigrated to the Low Countries in the early 1600s. He
led a troop that he raised himself in the wars there, and was taken
prisoner by the Spaniards. He eventually returned to England,
however, and died in county Durham. His two eldest sons, William and
Anthony also suffered for their Recusancy and for being Royalist
during the Civil Wars, with Anthony a Lieutenant-Colonel, and losing
his mansion house of High Embleton.
Anthony's youngest son and eventual heir, Anketil Bulmer (1634-1718),
whose name hearkened back to the family's 12th-century roots, suffered
imprisonment in York Castle in 1680 for being a Papist. He was one of
the few male-line descendants of Sir William Bulmer and Margery
Conyers to make it to the 18th-century, but he died without issue.
There may, however, still be male-line Bulmer descendants of Edward
III living today, since a branch, the Bulmers of Startforth, co.
Durham, also made it to the 18th-century, though their descendants
appear not to have been traced further forward. Through inter-
marriage with many prominent gentry families, the Durham Bulmers
gathered several descents from Edward III, and Anketil Bulmer's
thirteen lines thru Joan Beaufort, including one from Edward IV, are
given below.

Descents From Edward III For Anketil Bulmer (1634-1718)

Re: Descents From Edward III For Anketil Bulmer (1634-1718)
I frankly don't understand by Brad's postings of this type are so
great. Often they deal extensively with post-medieval material
(something I've been crucified for attempting), yet they never connect
up to Gateway ancestors (something that is explicitly allowed, and
something my postings usually manage).
I mean, what's so unusual about a member of the 18th century English
gentry living in England having a line (or multiple lines) to Edward I
or III? I would think it's the norm, rather than otherwise.

The Bulmers are believed to have been a Northern England family of
Anglo-Saxon origin who managed to retain their holdings after the
Norman Conquest. Anketil de Bulmer, was high sheriff of North
Yorkshire in the 12th-century, and appeared to have taken his name
from the village of Bulmer in the Ryedale district. He and his son
Bertram de Bulmer were in possession of both Brancepeth and Raby
Castles in County Durham, but these passed through an heiress to the
Neville family by the close of that century. An offshoot of the
family settled at Wilton a manor in the very north-eastern tip of
Cleveland in the North Riding, near the mouth of the River Tees. The
family reached a peak with Sir Ralph Bulmer (c.1280-1348), who
received license to crenellate Wilton Castle in 1330, served as
sheriff of Yorkshire 1330-1348, and was summoned to Parliament as a
baron from 1344-48. But none of Sir Ralph's descendants were ever
summoned in respect to the barony, and the family's influence seemed
to lessen in the late 14th and 15th centuries. It was across the
River Tees in county Durham where succeeding generations of Bulmers
looked for wives, marrying into such prominent gentry families as
Hilton of Hilton, Eure of Bradley, and Bowes of Streatlam. Yet none
of these marriages brought the Bulmers any lands to augment their
holdings, and by the time Sir Ralph Bulmer of Wilton (c.1450-1486) was
head of the family at the close of the Yorkist era, the inheritance
had stayed the same for close to 75 years.
Shortly before his death, Sir Ralph managed to arrange a brilliant
marriage for his son and heir William Bulmer (born 1465). The closest
castle to Wilton Castle is Skelton, less than 4 miles east. In the
1480s, it was the chief seat of the very old, mentally-impaired widow
Joan, Countess of Kent. Her youngest daughter Alice had married the
son and heir of the powerful Richmondshire knight, Sir John Conyers of
Hornby Castle (c.1420-1490). Since both his son and heir and his
daughter-in-law Alice died before him, it was up to Sir John to
arrange the marriages of their four orphaned children. He looked to
the baronial Scropes of Bolton Castle, a fellow Richmondshire family,
for the marriages of his grandsons and (successively) heirs apparent,
but for Margery Conyers, the elder of his two granddaughters, he
looked to the Bulmers of Wilton Castle. Knowing that Skelton Castle
would someday soon be the inheritance of his grandson and heir William
Conyers, marrying the elder of his grandson's two sisters to the
neighboring family of Bulmer would solidify the Conyers influence in
Cleveland. Margery's marriage portion wasn't lands, so it much have
been cash, and since her grandfather was one of the wealthiest of all
the Yorkshire gentry, and, with the reign of Richard III, whose
trusted advisor he was and who made him a Knight of the Garter, at the
height of his power and influence, no doubt provided with a generous
one.
William Bulmer succeeded his father in 1486 with a wife who not only
was of the bloodline of Edward III, but who was closely related to
most of the leading families of Richmondshire. Her brother William
Conyers succeeded to Hornby Castle in 1490 and to Skelton Castle the
following year, and the two families remained close throughout Margery
and William's lifetimes. An able soldier and administrator, William
first served as J.P. for the North Riding in 1496, and was knighted
during the 1497 Scottish campaign of the Earl of Surrey. Indeed Sir
William would achieve the greatest influence of any Bulmer since Sir
Ralph in the first half of the 14th century: he was sheriff and
escheator of Durham from 1503-1516, sheriff of Yorkshire 1517-1518,
and again sheriff and escheator of Durham from 1523-1527. He was
elected M.P for Yorkshire in 1523 and lieutenant of Norham Castle,
Northumberland the same year. The increased influence of the Bulmer
family is demonstrated by the marriages Sir William was able to
arrange for his children. His one daughter Margery was married off
locally to George Salvin, heir of Newbiggin, which was less than 20
miles from Wilton Castle, but eldest son and heir Sir John Bulmer was
married to Anne Bigod, from a prominent East Riding gentry family,
while Sir William managed to land heiresses as wives for his two
younger sons. Sir Ralph Bulmer (d. 1558) married Anne Aske, elder
daughter and co-heir of Roger Aske of Aske. Their only daughter
Dorothy Bulmer (1533-1574) married John Sayer of Worsall. Sir
William's youngest son, another Sir William Bulmer (1492-1546) was
arranged in marriage in 1498 to Elizabeth Elmeden, the child heiress
of Embleton, Tursdale and other manors in county Durham. By his death
in 1531, Sir William Bulmer had greatly increased his family's
influence.
It would prove to be the pinnacle, however, for eldest son and heir
Sir John Bulmer became a participant along with his second wife in the
Pilgrimage of Grace and both were put to death in 1537 as a result,
and attainted and Wilton Castle and the other Bulmer manors were
forfeited to the crown. The marriage of Sir John Bulmer and Anne
Bigod produced two sons, Ralph and William (d.s.p.), and three
daughters: Anne, who married Matthew Boynton of Barmston, Agnes who
married Lancelot Layton of Sexhow, and Elizabeth who married 1st,
Henry Nalton of Eddlethorpe and 2nd Francis Constable of Sherburn.
For his second wife, Sir John took his mistress, Margaret, widow of
William Cheyne, and daughter of Henry Stafford. She is said in some
sources to have been the illegitimate daughter of Edward Stafford, 3rd
Duke of Buckingham. By his second wife, he had some children before
their marriage, and a son, John Bulmer of Pinchinthorpe (1536-1608,
s.p.), born after the marriage. Sir John's son and heir Ralph Bulmer
(d. 1558) was restored in blood by Parliament in 1548, but not to
Wilton Castle and the other Yorkshire Bulmer estates. His marriage to
Anne Tempest, arranged when they were children, was a disaster on a
personal level, and of the seven daughters born during their marriage,
Ralph would only recognize the first three as his own. The year 1558
saw the male line of the two eldest sons of Sir William Bulmer and
Margery Conyers become extinct.
The line of the third and youngest son, Sir William Bulmer and his
wife Elizabeth Elmeden, continued on for several generations in county
Durham. Their great-grandson Sir Bertram Bulmer (1579-1638) was
seated at Tursdale in that county, and was living in great splendor
during the reign of James I, who knighted him in 1603. His children
were able to make good marriages. The eldest son William Bulmer
(1601-1682) obtained Marrick Park Hall in Yorkshire through his wife
Dorothy, a co-heiress of the Sayers of Worsall, while two of his
daughters married into established Durham gentry families: Margaret to
John Smythe of Eshe, and Troth to John Brandling of Felling. Second
son Anthony Bulmer (1602-1683) married as his second wife, Mary, widow
of John Wild of Ketton, co. Durham, and daughter of Christopher
Wyvill. But the family suffered for their Catholic faith: Sir Bertram
lost much of his paternal inheritance and joined the many English
Catholics who emigrated to the Low Countries in the early 1600s. He
led a troop that he raised himself in the wars there, and was taken
prisoner by the Spaniards. He eventually returned to England,
however, and died in county Durham. His two eldest sons, William and
Anthony also suffered for their Recusancy and for being Royalist
during the Civil Wars, with Anthony a Lieutenant-Colonel, and losing
his mansion house of High Embleton.
Anthony's youngest son and eventual heir, Anketil Bulmer (1634-1718),
whose name hearkened back to the family's 12th-century roots, suffered
imprisonment in York Castle in 1680 for being a Papist. He was one of
the few male-line descendants of Sir William Bulmer and Margery
Conyers to make it to the 18th-century, but he died without issue.
There may, however, still be male-line Bulmer descendants of Edward
III living today, since a branch, the Bulmers of Startforth, co.
Durham, also made it to the 18th-century, though their descendants
appear not to have been traced further forward. Through inter-
marriage with many prominent gentry families, the Durham Bulmers
gathered several descents from Edward III, and Anketil Bulmer's
thirteen lines thru Joan Beaufort, including one from Edward IV, are
given below.

Dear Will,
Thanks for the above. I had read in the Bulmer account in CP that
Agnes Sutton had been a co-heiress, but I didn't research exactly what
she had brought to the Bulmers. The above is helpful.
Her youngest daughter Alice had married the
son and heir of the powerful Richmondshire knight, Sir John Conyers of
Hornby Castle (c.1420-1490).
-------------------------
How do we know when John was born ?
It's an estimate that historian Tony Pollard gave in his article "The
Richmondshire Community of Gentry During the Wars of the Roses". I'm
not sure exactly what he based it on, but as Sir John's wife Margery
Darcy was born in 1418, about 1420 for Sir John's birth is likely
close to the mark. Pollard has studied the Conyerses in the 15th-
century pretty closely, and the family is tied in to the Robin of
Redesdale activities during Edward IV's reign among other
achievements, but unfortunately family muniments from that period do
not survive and it's therefore hard to pinpoint exact dates. For
example, the closest Pollard can come to determining the death date of
Sir John's father, Christopher Conyers of Hornby, is 1463-65, using
various deeds and feoffments from other families, which the Conyerses
witnessed, as a framework.

Dear Benjamin,
Unfortunately, I have no details on the Bulmers prior to Sir William
Bulmer (1465-1531) and his father Sir Ralph Bulmer (d. 1486).
One of the newsgroup members who does comprehensive research into
Yorkshire families, especially early (pre-1400) origins, is John
Ravilious. I don't know if the Bulmers are on his To Do List, but he
may have tackled FitzRalphs, and I know there have been several topics
here over the years on the early FitzWilliams.
Good luck with your journey into the 13th-century and earlier!

According to Yorkshire Pedigrees, a John Bulmer (son of another John Bulmer)
who died ca. 1265 was married to Alice FitzWilliam, the daughter of William
FitzRalph. John and Alice had at least one son, John, married to Theophania
de Morevic.
Do you have anything further on the Bulmer spouse? I'm curious about Alice
FitzWilliam's ancestry, as I have nothing further on her at all. Do you
know if she related to the William FitzRalph who married Joan Greystoke (the
daughter of Thomas Greystoke and Christian de Vipont)?
