28	A baptism or parish marriage register entry was not found for Joseph Furmedge however his marriage to Margaret Livingstone is recorded in her baptism register entry. The GRO Death Index and burial record for Joseph Furmedge state that he was 30 years old when he died which would give an approximate year of birth of 1916, rather than 1914 (confirmed by his birth certificate). The burial record indicates that Joseph was living at 1, Springfield Place, Liverpool. Margaret Furmedge, also aged 30 years, is buried a few days later in the same cemetery and grave and previously of the same address. In the 1939 Register, Margaret Livingstone (married name: Furmedge) is living with her family at 1, Springfield Place, Liverpool.	FURMEDGE, Joseph (I248)
29	A birth or baptism record has not been identified for Iris Minnie Hampson to date. She is named in her father’s 1937 death notice as “Iris Minnie Furmage (born Hampson)” together with seven other siblings. It is possible to trace a number of records (e.g., marriage or death) for her siblings indicating that Iris was most probably born in Umtata, Eastern Cape, South Africa to William Hampson and Emily Jane Hampson (born Ingram). Iris’ approximate year of birth is based on her age at marriage and is consistent with her siblings birth years . A death or burial record has also not been identified however her husband is described as a widower in his 1953 death information form. (Sources accessed on www.familysearch.org). Iris’ father, William Hampson, is recorded in the British 1820 Settlers to South Africa website (www.1820settlers.com) although there is limited information about him (sources not verified): William Hampson, born 1854, died 21 Jan 1937. Parents: James Hampson, born 1823 Stockport, Cheshire; died 02 Nov 1896, Queenstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa & Ann Spalding, born 08 Mar 1835, Old Charlton, Kent. [A marriage record identified on www.familysearch.org confirms that James Hampson and Ann Spalding married in South Africa]. Descendents: None listed.	HAMPSON, Iris Minnie (I1342)
30	A death / burial record has not been identified for John David Stride.	STRIDE, John David (I769)
31	A death or burial record has not been located for George Walter Vye (or common name variations). He is recorded in the 1931 Electoral Roll, living with his wife at Firtree Cottages, Upham, Hampshire. His wife is recorded at the same address in the 1939 Register and is described as a widow. It has therefore been assumed that George died sometime between 1931 and 1939.	VYE, George Walter (I1162)
32	A death record has not been identified for Eric Walter Furmage. The last record referring to him is from 1966. Eric Walter Furmage was a ship’s steward, employed in the merchant services. He is recorded as such in the 1921 England census and there are also a number of standard merchant seamen records available for him dated from about 1918 to about 1923. (1921 census: 70, Harden’s Manorway, Charlton, Woolwich, London, Class: RG15, Piece: 2960, Schedule: 252. Merchant Seamen records: CR10 Form, BT350; CR2 Form, BT348/1 & CR1 Form, BT349; digital images accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk, original data: The National Archives, London). In 1924 and into the 1930’s records describe him as a motor or coach driver. In August 1924, he pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey (Central Criminal Court, London) to a change of stealing 14 tons of coal and receiving 9 tons of stolen coal. Judgement of his case was placed ‘on hold’ (“judgement respited”). In 1930 and 1933, he appears in newspaper articles concerning his separation from his first wife, Emily Mary. They had first separated in 1928, Emily Mary having had an affair. Eric had returned to his wife but they separated again in 1930 and by 1933 both parties had formed new relationships. In both articles Emily Mary had taken Eric to court; in 1930 for desertion and in 1933 for neglecting to pay reasonable maintenance for their child. In both instances, the case was dismissed. (Calendar of Prisoners, HO 140 / 385, digital image accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk; original data: The National Archives. Newspaper articles: “Husband Who Feared His Wife”, Maidstone Telegraph (Maidstone, Kent), published 13 December 1930, page: 13 and “A Husband’s Complaint”, Kentish Independent (London), published 22 September 1933, page: 17). Based on bankruptcy notices published in The London Gazette between January 1959 and May 1966, Eric later became a hotelier. The notices give his addresses as (1) 68, Parkview Road, Welling, Kent, moving to (2) Greenways Hotel, Egham Hill, Egham, Surrey, moving to (3) Ildene, Horton Cross, Ilminster, Somerset. From 1960 to 1966, he is recorded as unemployed and living at “Greenhill”, Lower Sandhurst Road, Crowthorne, Berkshire. These are the last records found for him. (Bankruptcy No. 66 of 1958 Re: Eric Walter Furmage, published in the London Gazette on various dates including 09 January 1959, 15 December 1959, 12 January 1960, 08 December 1964 and 10 May 1966, digital images accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk).	FURMAGE, Eric Walter (I1663)
33	A Dorset baptism record for Mary Ann Monckton (or surname variations) has not been found to date. Her age varies on early census returns but seems to settle on a year of birth of 1817-1818 in later census and in her death and burial records. Based on the details of her father and witnesses in her 1843 parish marriage record it is possible that she is the daughter of Thomas Munckton and Jane Lydford. In 1841 she is enumerated as a female servant in the Smith household at The Down House, Blandford St Mary, Dorset; John Furmage is in the same household, recorded as a gardener (1841 England census: Class: HO107, Piece: 277, Folio: 8, Page: 10).	MONCKTON, Mary Ann (I1331)
34	A fourth child, Mary Ann Furmidge, is recorded in the 1851 England census, aged 2 years old and possibly therefore a twin of Samuel, however this child appears in no other record found to date (Redmile, Leicestershire: Class: HO107, Piece: 2102, Folio: 349, Page: 6).	FURMIDGE, Robert (I697)
35	A marriage or death record has not been identified for Rebecca to date. She is not enumerated with her parents in the 1841 census and her parents re-use Rebecca as the name of a child baptised in 1832. This would suggest that either Rebecca died prior to 1832 or was re-baptised in 1832. A second baptism of the same child could be explained as the family moved areas from Bloxworth, Dorset to Bath, Somerset although this move appears to have occurred much earlier than 1832; there is also no indication (e.g, date of birth or age at baptism) that the child baptised in 1832 was not an infant. It seems more likely that the Rebecca born in 1823 had died in infancy.	FURMAGE, Rebecca (I1374)
36	A marriage or death record has not been identified for Rebecca Vittoria to date. She is not enumerated with her parents in the 1841 census and it therefore seems likely that she died in infancy.	FURMAGE, Rebecca Vittoria (I1377)
37	A marriage record has not been located for Albert Perry Furmidge and Mary Binfield Edkins. Their eldest child was born in 1879 and, assuming a marriage occurred, an approximate marriage date of “before 1879” has been assigned.	FURMIDGE, Albert Perry (I1042)
38	A marriage record has not been located for John Harry Furmage and Ethel May. They are recorded as married in the 1921 England Census, residing at 41, Beaufort Mansions, Chelsea, London (Class: RG15, Piece: 438, Schedule: 124) and have no children. On her death certificate, Ethel is described as the wife of Hal Kean Furmage, Artist, who is also the recorded informant.	(UNKNOWN), Ethel May (I1453)
39	A note has been added to Thomas’ burial record: “This child died of burns from fire [lighters] in the fields whilst he was employed scaring birds.” An inquest was held and reported in the Leicester Journal published 16th April 1858: Thomas had been employed as a bird scarer by R. Birch. He had been with his brother John and they had made a fire to “warm themselves and get their dinner by”. They thought that they had put the fire out but then Thomas sat down in the embers, and when the brothers left and were walking across the field, he realised that his clothes had caught fire. His cry brought Mr Birch into the field and both he and John had tried to put the fire out. A surgeon was called and attended Thomas at his home but he died in the night. A verdict of accidental death was given.	FURMIDGE, Thomas (I488)
40	A record of the marriage between William Furmage and Mary Churchill has not been identified. The earliest census recording William and Mary as married is the 1861 England census (Churchyard, Last St Mary, Wareham, Dorset: Class: RG9, Piece: 1345, Folio: 19, Page: 32). The eldest child recorded in this census is George Furmage, born about 1852 in Wareham, Dorset, however in the 1881 England census George is recorded as a step-son and has the surname Churchill (Church Lane, Last St Mary, Wareham, Dorset: Class: RG11, Piece: 2100, Folio: 16, Page: 23). The next eldest child is William Furmage born in about 1854. This suggests that William and Mary were a couple from about the first half of the 1850s.	FURMAGE, William (I1206)
41	A teacher by occupation, John Roscoe enlisted in the Royal Signals as a Private on 30th October 1941. He transferred to the Intelligence Corps in November 1942 and was employed at GHQ for several months in charge of the wartime education for the 1500 “other ranks” of the Unit. From January 1943 to April 1946 he served in India. He was discharged from the army on 12th July 1946 with the rank of Sergeant. (Source: Service Records of J. Roscoe, No.: 2377604, The National Archives Reference: WO 421/10540, accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk).	ROSCOE, John (I563)
42	A transcript of Gerald’s baptism register entry records his mother as Martha Hannah Furmage, rather than Martha Emma Furmage.	FURMAGE, Gerald Lewis (I1195)
43	A William Sandy married Alice Maud Furmidge in 1893 at the Register Office, Medway, Kent. He is recorded as 22 years old (born 1870-71) and a bachelor. His occupation is Stoker, Royal Navy and his father is William Henry Sandy, a labourer. His residence is River Street, Brompton which was in the Chatham area near the Royal Navy docks. William’s Royal Navy service record gives his date and place of birth as 13 June 1871, Rotherhithe, London. This is consistent with his age as recorded on his marriage record. Rotherhithe (London / Surrey) was in the St Olave (Southwark / Bermondsey) registration district from 1870. William joined the Royal Navy as a stoker in 17 October 1892. He was invalided due to an “old injury to his right hand” between 03 July 1896 and 07 Oct 1899 and ended his service on 09 August 1901. Alice Maud Sandy (formerly Furmidge) died in 1905 on the Isle of Wight. In 1906, a William Boyd Sandy married Rosey Ellen Furmidge at the Register Office in Portsmouth, Hampshire. He is recorded as 32 years old (born 1873-74) and a widower. His occupation is Mariner (Merchant Service) and his residence (the same as Rosey’s) is at 14, Eastfield Road, Eastney. His father is recorded as William Henry Sandy (deceased), an army pensioner. His Merchant Service Identity Certificate (C.R. 10 Form; The National Archives: BT350) gives his date and place of birth as 13 June 1874, London (this is further clarified as Bermondsey, London in the 1911 England census (Cross Street, Cowes, Isle of Wight. Class: RG14, Piece: 5689, Schedule: 52)). In 1907 he is recorded as the master of ’Surprise’ (former master: J. Furmidge) and he appears on other merchant navy crew lists (Crew List Index Project (CLIP) website). The 1921 England census shows him as engineer on board the ‘Media Hyr’ at anchor on the Hamble River, Southampton (Class: RG15, Piece: 05687). An entry in the GRO Birth Index has not been found for a William BOYD Sandy born 1870 to 1875 anywhere in England, nor has a first marriage been identified for William BOYD Sandy. Based on the information above it seems likely that William Sandy, widower of Alice Maud Furmidge, and William Boyd Sandy, widowed groom of Rosey Ellen Furmidge are the same person. Both dates of birth have been cited as a GRO Birth Index entry has not been identified for either. An inquest was held at the Congregational Schoolroom, Cowes into the death of William Boyd Sandy, age 70. He suffered a crushed chest when he was accidentally run down by a train from which he was alighting at Cowes Bay Station on 7th October 1944 (Isle of Wight Family History Society transcript).

45	According to his burial record, James died aged 2 days. The date of death has been inferred based on this information.	FURMEDGE, James (I35)
46	According to the 1911 Wales census John Henry Furmage was born in Matthewstown, which is an archaic name for Tyntetown (Class: RG11, Piece: 31887, Schedule: 263, Address: 14, Bryn Gwyn Fleur-de-Lis, Bedwellty, Monmouthshire).	FURMAGE, John Henry (I1134)
47	Ada’s year of birth recorded on the GRO Death Index is 1895 however other sources including the 1939 Register and her burial record suggest that she was born in 1897. In addition her date of burial in the parish register has been over-written to correct it - the entry could be read as 11th July 1972.	HILL, Ada Maria Kate (I672)

49	Albert Edward Barefield joined the militia (4th Battalion Oxfordshire Light Infantry) on 06 November 1893 and then transferred to the King’s Own Scottish Borderers on 04 January 1894. He served in South Africa between 04 January 1900 and 01 September 1902. He was discharged 03 January 1906 but re-joined in 1915. He served in France with the British Expeditionary Force from 21 July 1916 but it is unclear from the records (part of the ‘burnt’ series) when he was discharged. (The National Archives: War Office: Militia Attestation Papers WO 96/735/310; Royal Chelsea Hospital: Soldiers Service Documents, WO 97/4305/10; War Office: Soldiers’ Documents, First World War, ‘Burnt Documents’, WO 363).	BAREFIELD, Albert Edward (I1204)
50	Albert Furmidge died aged 19 years old at Nottingham General Hospital as a result of complications from appendicitis. He had attended Stapleford Boys’ School and been a member of the Stapleford Group of Sea Scouts. At the time of his death he was employed by Messrs. Jones, Stroud, Ltd., Long Eaton. His funeral took place on Tuesday 6th October 1936 at Stapleford Cemetery. (Source: The Long Eaton Advertiser published 9th October 1936).	FURMIDGE, Albert (I471)
