I have a Gerhard Rump was born 03 Sep 1878 in Bevern, amt Cloppenburg,
Oldenburg.
He was married to Johanna Wilhelmina Havickhorst. Their children were
born in Elstow, Bedfordshire, England. Perhaps he is related to your
Gerhard.

Hello Debby,
the passenger lists of castlegarden.org listed a Rump family with came
over with the ship "New York" on 5th January 1845:
Gerhard Rump (47) shoemaker, wife Adelheid (40), children: Maria (20),
Christian (13), Minna (9), Antoinet (8)
-> Minna could be Wilhelmina Catherine
on 26th November 1845 came over:
Anna Rump (60), Elisabeth (24), Heinrich (33), Marianna (20) (maybe
additional members of this family)
All came from the former Grand Duchy Oldenburg, no town or village is
given.
Maybe the burial documents of the cemetery shows more details where they
came from.
Sincereley,
