Origin of the name Tomblins Ditch (General)

The TOMLINS that are turning up born around 1815 are involved in Lime burning . kilns.

English Bicknor has a lime hertitage. Joyford / Berry Hill are linked to this.

Perhaps Tomblins Ditch ( bank ?) is a reflection of historic Lime extraction and burning (?) by the Tomblins/Tumblins family.
