The Sumner Family Tree

Welcome to the Sumner Family Tree.

This Sumner family originated in Wiltshire, south-west of Devizes, around the villages of Erlestoke, Potterne and Seend.
Many centuries later they spread to Cheltenham, Bristol and then worldwide.

Over the years the surname has changed. Originally the name was Sumpner - possibly meaning the owner of a packhorse and then changing to Sumner and Somner.

Sumner has two possible occupational meanings - (1) a Court Summoner and (2) a local official whose job it was to ensure all parishioners attended church each week. This tree follows the Sumpner's and then the Sumner's. Although there are a few Somners in this tree, most seem to have taken a separate line (more research is needed).

Old records have been found for the first six generations of this tree (the Sumpners),
but they don't include dates, so those shown are estimated.

With over 11,000 individuals in my family tree it has become unmanageable for a single web site.
Therefore it has been split into a number of smaller sites based on major family groups.
