In the early 1850s Thomas Caulker was sent by his father, Canrah Bah Caulker, King of Bompey (syn: Bumpe), to London, for a Christian education in the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion pioneered in the eighteenth century by the evangelical Selina Hastings, and for his health.
The clan still maintains its oral and written testimony about its English ancestor, Thomas Corker and a number of Caulker chiefs were named after him, such as Thomas Caulker.
