Joseph Tummon (bap. 23 Jan 1785 at St Mary's, Hull), son of Joseph Tummon and Mary Holroyd, married Mary Williamson (b. 7 May 1790), daughter of Thomas Williamson and Rebecca Bellard, on 6 Dec 1807 at Holy Trinity Church, Hull. 

(It appears that this was not Joseph's first marriage, as Joseph Tummon, Mariner, had previously married Mary Cornwall, also at Hull Holy Trinity, on 29 Oct 1804. Their daughter, Mary Ann Tummon was baptised at Holy Trinity on 7 Aug 1806. Cannot identify further records for this first Mrs Tummon, nor Mary Ann.)

Joseph Tummon and Mary Williamson's children included:
  1. Joseph Tummon bap. 20 Nov 1808 at All Saints ChurchSculcoates. The baptism record lists Joseph's father as William and does not list his mother, however, several DNA matches point to these being his parents.

  3. Sarah Tummon b. 1810 (no baptism record)
