152	David Furmidge is a veteran of the Second World War. He enlisted in the U.S. Army on 29th March 1943 and was discharged on 31st January 1946 (U.S., Department of Veterans Affairs BIRLS Death Files transcript accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk). David also travelled the world as a member of crew of a merchant marine vessel (Richmond Times Dispatch (Richmond, Virginia), published 08 March 1943) and was working as a baker in Chicago following the war (Richmond Times Dispatch (Richmond, Virginia), published 25 March 1947).	FURMIDGE, David (I1015)
153	David’s burial entry transcript records that he died at Cefn Mably Hospital which was in the St Mellons region of Cardiff. In the 1920s, when David was there, it was in use as a tuberculosis sanatorium. It later became a general hospital and closed in the 1980s. His burial transcript also provides his residential address: 64, Edward Street. By 1939, his wife Sarah had re-married and is living with her husband at 64, Edward Street, Pengam, Bedwellty, Monmouthshire (1939 Register, Class: RG101, Piece: 7439B).	FURMAGE, David Samuel (I1131)

159	Dinah’s surname is recorded as Firmige in the baptism register.	FURMIDGE, Dinah (I901)
160	Dorothy was a widow when she married Vincent Walter Furmidge. She had previously married Stuart Walter Ratcliffe in 1942. He died on war service on 25th November 1944 (GRO Marriage Index Oct-Dec 1942, Dorothy E Priestley and Stuart W Ratcliffe, District: Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Vol: 7B, Page: 602 & National Probate Calendar 1945 entry for Stuart Walter Ratcliffe).	PRIESTLEY, Dorothy Elizabeth (I643)
161	Dorothy’s date of birth is recorded as 28 Jun 1910 in both the 1939 Register and GRO Death Index, whereas it is 14 April in her baptism record. Her baptism date precedes the 28 June birth date making it unlikely. Also her birth was recorded in the April-June quarter, which would only give a couple of days after her birth for the registration had she been born 28 June.	FURMEDGE, Dorothy Ethel (I260)
162	Dorothy’s date of birth was originally recorded in the 1939 Register as 06 Mar 1905 however “Feb” has been added. Her entry in the GRO Death Index confirms she was born 06 Feb 1905.	FURMAGE, Dorothy May (I1191)

166	Edith Burgess was a widow when she married Harry Furmedge. She had previously married Frederick Hind in 1898 and she is recorded as Edith Hind in the Queensland Marriages transcript for her marriage to Harry Furmedge. Frederick Hind died in 1914 and is buried in Cairns Cemetery, Cairns, Queensland, Australia (Find A Grave website, memorial ID 174121069, accessed 23 April 2024).	BURGESS, Edith (I401)
167	Edith Maud’s cemetery burial record identifies her as the “daughter of Charles Furmedge” however her death certificate confirms her as the daughter of Julia Maude Furmedge, Domestic Servant of 32 Nessus Street, Landport. This is consistent with her baptism register entry which records her as the daughter of Julia Furmedge and the address, Nessus Street, is also the same as recorded on the burial record.	FURMEDGE, Edith Maud (I445)
168	Edith’s date of birth is recorded in the 1939 Register as 08 February 1894 however her entry in the GRO Death Index records it as 07 February 1894.	FURMAGE, Edith Mary (I1085)
169	Edward Furmidge was baptised at St Helen’s, Trowell, Nottinghamshire however his abode is recorded as “Albany”, New Stapleford.	FURMIDGE, Edward (I529)
170	Electoral Registers for Townsville, Queensland, Australia for 1939, 1949 and 1959 show both Archibald William and Emma Rose Campbell living at 50, Seventh Street, Townsville; Archibald’s occupation is recorded as Labourer (note: these records were accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk; the Electoral roll for 1939 was a digital image however those for 1949 and 1959 were transcripts). Seventh Street was the residence of Emma Rose on her marriage certificate. The marriage certificate for Archibald and Emma Rose records his residence at the time as Sturt Street, Townsville, his occupation as Labourer and his parents as John Campbell, a stock inspector, and Mary Burns. The certificate records that Archibald was born at Tweed Heads, New South Wales, which was in the Murwillumbah registration district, in about 1900. A birth index entry was identified for an Archie W Campbell, b. 1905 in the Murwillumbah registration district, parents: John and Mary E Campbell. This is the only entry registered in Murwillumbah between 1895 and 1910 for either an Archibald or Archie, with or without a middle name William (source: https://familyhistory.bdm.nsw.gov.au). An obituary was published in the Tribune (03 April 1968) for an Archibald William “Duffy” Campbell who died in Townsville on 19 March 1968. Unfortunately, the obituary does not include any details of his family and it cannot be confirmed that this is the same Archibald William Campbell who married Emma Rose Furmedge, although it seems possible. An “Archie William Campbell” is buried in the Belgian Gardens Cemetery, Townsville (the same cemetery in which Emma’s older brother Harry is buried), who died 19 March 1968 and appears to be the same man as named in the obituary. His age at death is recorded as 62 years and he would therefore have been born in about 1902. The death index records his parents’ names as William Campbell (not John, as previously) and Mary Elizabeth Burns. Whilst his father’s first name is different, the mother’s name appears consistent with the birth and marriage records.	CAMPBELL, Archibald William (I408)
171	Elizabeth Ann is recorded as a widow in the 1898 marriage register entry for her marriage to Edward Furmidge. Her married name is Jenkins and her maiden-name is Hall. She appears to have previously married William Jenkins at St Peter’s, Nottingham in 1876 and is recorded with William in the 1881 England census (they have no children co-resident with them), living in Ilkeston, Derbyshire (Class: RG11, Piece: 3327, Folio: 131, Page: 27). By 1891 she is resident with Edward Furmidge, described as a “relative” at 21 Newstead Street, Bulwell, Nottinghamshire (1891 England census: Class: RG12, Piece: 2673, Folio: 55, Page: 16). William Jenkins is also resident in Bulwell, living with Eliza Charlton (and 2 children) who is described in the census as his “paramour” (1891 England census: Class: RG12, Piece: 2672, Folio: 115, Page: 24). William Jenkins appears to have died in 1897, leaving Elizabeth Ann free to marry Edward Furmidge in 1898.	HALL, Elizabeth Ann (I505)
172	Elizabeth is recorded as Elizabeth Anne Firmidge in the Harby parish baptism register. She is referred to as “Mrs. Nannie Green” in her sister Louisa’s obituary published in the Melton Mowbray Times & Vale of Belvoir Gazette, Friday 23rd September 1949.	FURMIDGE, Elizabeth Ann (I571)
173	Elizabeth is recorded in the 1939 Register at the same address as her married sister Phoebe Baldry at 177a Spring Bank, Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, however her date of birth is recorded as 14 September 1899 (Class: RG101, Piece: 3138I).	FURMIDGE, Elizabeth (I695)
174	Elizabeth was a widow on her marriage to Vincent Furmidge in 1902. She had previously married George Holmes on 11th June 1879 at St Jude’s, Moorfields, Sheffield. George was a widower at the time of the marriage and was 44 years old (Parish Register, PR141/2/2 (alternative reference: PR141/8), Page: 107; digital image accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk; original data: Sheffield Archives). George Holmes is not enumerated with his wife in either the 1891 or 1901 England census however Vincent Furmidge is enumerated in the same household as a Lodger / Boarder (Class: RG12, Piece: 2681, Folio: 63, Page 8 (note: Vincent’s age is recorded as 26); & Class: RG13, Piece: 3188, Folio: 40, Page: 21).	STALLABRASS, Elizabeth (I580)
175	Elizabeth’s baptism register entry appears to record her first names as Elizabeth Ann Blinder [sic. Belinda?] and she is the daughter of Elizabeth Ann Jenkins of 21 Newstead Street, Bulwell, single woman. The information in the section for parents first names appears as “Edward” [struck-through] “Elizabeth Ann” [not struck through] “Jenk..” [struck through].	JENKINS, Elizabeth Ann Belinda Furmidge (I554)
176	Elizabeth’s date of birth is recorded as 25 Sep 1899 in the 1939 Register, whilst it is recorded as 26 Sep 1901 in Norman John Furmage’s naturalisation documents. Her birth was registered in the Oct-Dec quarter of 1901, confirming that 1901 is the correct year of her birth. Generally, her place of birth is recorded as Southampton however her birth was registered in South Stoneham, Hampshire, suggesting she was born near but not in Southampton itself. In the 1901 England census (taken just prior to Elizabeth’s birth) her parents are living at 41, Howards Grove, Shirley, South Stoneham, Hampshire and so Shirley may be a more accurate place of birth for Elizabeth (Class: RG13, Piece: 1073, Folio: 39, Page: 20).	MAGGS, Elizabeth Florence (I1223)
177	Elizabeth’s surname is recorded as both Furmedge and Furmidge on her entry in the baptism register.	FURMEDGE, Elizabeth Ann (I241)
178	Elizabeth’s surname is recorded as Furmadge in her baptism record and as Fermidge in her death certificate.	FURMIDGE, Elizabeth (I871)
179	Elizabeth’s surname is recorded as Furmadge in the GRO Birth Index but as Furmage in her baptism register entry. Elizabeth Furmage married Thomas Ryan in 1894 however no record can be found for them in any subsequent England and Wales census. In 1900, Elizabeth has a daughter, whose birth is registered with no father’s name and Elizabeth is using her maiden name of Furmage. Elizabeth is recorded as being a domestic servant. In the 1901 Wales census, Elizabeth and her daughter are residing with William Thomas (actually recorded a “Fredrick” Thomas in this census); their surname is recorded as Thomas and Elizabeth is recorded as William’s wife (6, Cardiff Road, Barry, Cardiff, Glamorganshire: Class: RG13, Piece: 4992, Folio: 29, Page: 2). In the 1911 Wales census William and Elizabeth Thomas are recorded as having been married for 12 years (about 1898-99) and having had one child together (15, Laura Street, Barry, Glamorganshire: Class: RG14, Piece: 32179, Schedule: 85). This perhaps indicates the start year of their relationship, as no marriage record can be found for them until 1913 for which Elizabeth is recorded with her previous married name of Ryan in the GRO Marriage Index.	FURMAGE, Elizabeth (I1100)
180	Elizabeth’s surname is recorded as Furmedge in both the GRO Birth Index and her parish baptism record. It is recorded as Furmage in the GRO Marriage Index and on her parish marriage record for her 1897 marriage to George James Glass.	FURMAGE, Elizabeth (I414)
181	Eliza’s surname is recorded as Furmedge in both the GRO Birth Index and her parish baptism record. It is recorded as Furmage on her GRO Marriage Index entry and parish marriage record for her 1894 marriage to William Tom Shepherd. Eliza died on 08 August 1940 in Exeter. Her cause of death is recorded in her death certificate as “Senile dementia precipitated by being knocked down by a pedal cycle on 13th June 1940 at Colyton, Devon.” An inquest was held on 13 August 1940 with a conclusion of death by misadventure.	FURMAGE, Eliza (I413)
182	Ella is a widow at the time of her marriage to Norman Furmidge, her married name is Billingham.	BROTHERS, Ella Margaret (I1075)
183	Ellen (or Helen) Sarah Jane Chapman otherwise Simpson (formerly Furmidge) lived with William Henry Simpson at 72, Bassein Park Road, Hammersmith, London. They can be identified at this address in the 1911 and 1921 England census and in electoral rolls (entries for 1918 to 1930 noted). The 1911 England census records that they had been married for 16 years providing an approximate “marriage” date of 1895; they had no children (Class: RG14, Piece: 205, Schedule: 143). The 1911 census records that Ellen was born in Cape Colony, South Africa, whilst the 1921 census records her birth place more precisely as Grahamstown, South Africa (Class: RG15, Piece: 223, Schedule: 335). Ellen is recorded as both ‘Helen Sarah Jane Chapman’ and ‘Helen Sarah Jane Simpson’ in the GRO Death Index. Her death certificate confirms that she was the widow of Joseph Chapman, a Printer, whilst the informant was W. H. Simpson who was “causing the body to be buried”.	FURMIDGE, Ellen Sarah Jane (I1041)
184	Ellen’s surname is recorded as Furmidge in the GRO Marriage Index but appears as Furmedge in the parish marriage register. It appears that Ellen’s husband, Charles Isaac Hill, had died on or after November 1854 (see notes for Charles Isaac Hill) and that Ellen had moved to London, where a daughter Anne Ellen Hill was baptised in August 1854. In 1857 Amy Gibson Hill was born in Croydon, Surrey. The baptism, which did not occur until 1873, names the parents as John and Ellen Hill; the birth certificate records the parents as Charles Hill and Ellen Hill (formerly Furmedge). In the 1861 and 1871 England census, an Ellen Hill of the correct age and place of birth is living with John Hill (a widower) and is described as his “aunt” and her status as “married”. John Hill, widower, and Ellen Hill, widow (father: William Furmedge, Hotel Keeper) were married at Kensington, London on 10th November 1873. An entry in the 1881 census was not found however in the 1891 England census, John and Ellen Hill are recorded as married; Amy Gibson Hill is also recorded at the same address. Amy Gibson Hill married Frank Harvey in 1900 and her father is recorded in the marriage register as John Hill (deceased). John had died in 1893 and is buried in Brompton Cemetery in the same plot as his first wife, Emma Hill (late Beattie, formerly Taylor) who died in 1850 and Ellen Hill (late Hill, formerly Furmedge) who died in 1907.	FURMEDGE, Ellen (I386)
185	Ellen’s surname is recorded as Furnedge in the GRO Birth Index. Her name is recorded as Nellie Furmedge in the GRO Marriage Index and she is also recorded as Nellie in the 1911 census (23 Cemeas Street, Liverpool, Reference: Class: RG14, Piece: 22128, Schedule: 28).	FURMEDGE, Ellen (I242)
186	Elsie is shown in the 1939 Register as the wife of John Edward Furmidge. She married Albert Stoker in 1949; the GRO Marriage Index records her under both her maiden-name, Hardy, and previous married name, Furmidge, indicating that she was a divorcee at the time of her second marriage. There is a minor discrepancy in her date of birth recorded in the 1939 Register (23rd November) and in the GRO Death Index (25th November).	HARDY, Elsie (I745)
187	Elsie Smith married Sydney Peakman in 1926 and she is recorded as Elsie Peakman in the 1939 Register. It is assumed from the GRO Marriage Index entries that she was a divorcee at the time of her marriage to Fred Furmidge (entries appear in the Index for both ‘Elsie Smith’ and ‘Elsie Peakman’). Elsie and Fred were married by special licence.	SMITH, Elsie (I736)
188	Emily Grace Furmidge was 3 or 4 days old when she died.	FURMIDGE, Emily Grace (I824)
189	Emily is living with her grandparents, John and Mary Ann Buttle, in the 1871 and 1881 England census. Her father, William Henry Copp had married her mother, Edith Buttle in 1863 however her father had then died in April 1865. At the time of her baptism Emily and her mother were resident at the Union Workhouse in Great Torrington. Her mother, Edith, re-married in 1870. Sources: 1871 England census, Buttle household at Marsh, Yarcombe, Devon (Class: RG10, Piece: 2404, Folio: 9, Page: 10); 1881 Wales census, Buttle household at 18, Bridge Street, Aberdare, Glamorganshire (Class: RG11, Piece: 5321; Folio: 15, Page: 23); Parish Marriage Register for St George, Brandon Hill, Bristol, Gloucestershire, 1863 (Reference: P/St.gb/R/2/C, Page: 74; digital image accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk; original data: Bristol Archives); Parish Burial Register for St John, Bedminster, Bristol, Gloucestershire, 1865 (Reference: P/St.jbed/R/4/F, Page: 207; digital image accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk; original data: Bristol Archives); Parish Baptism Register for St Michael, Great Torrington, Devon, 1866 (Reference: 4014A/PR/1/6, Page: 259; digital image accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk; original data: South west Heritage Trust); General Register Office England and Wales Marriage Index entries for Edith Copp and Edwin Tucker, Jan-Mar 1870 (District: Torrington, Devon, Volume: 5B, Page: 777).	COPP, Emily (I1083)
190	Emily’s burial record notes that she died at the Workhouse, Upton, Nottinghamshire.	FURMIDGE, Emily (I490)
191	Emma Elizabeth Williams’ [formerly Furmage or Thomas] date of birth is recorded as 15 May 1900 in the GRO Death Index. Emma Elizabeth Furmage was born 07 May 1900 according to her birth certificate and this is also her date of birth recorded in the 1939 Register. The death year and entry in the GRO Death Index assigned to her is however believed to be correct despite the date of birth discrepancy.	FURMAGE, Emma Elizabeth Thomas (I1742)
192	Emma Jane was a widow at the time of her marriage to Robert Furmedge; her previous married name was “Painter”.	WHITE, Emma Jane (I288)
193	Emma Louisa is alternatively recorded as Emily L or Emily Louise, for example in the GRO Marriage Index and 1939 Register; her entry in the National Probate Calendar records both versions of her given name. Her year of birth appears to be erroneously recorded as 1897 in the 1939 Register; her birth certificate confirms she was born 14 December 1891. The address at which she and her husband are living in 1939, however, is also the address recorded on her husband’s death certificate (1941) and her entry in the National Probate Calendar (1958). Emma died at Whittington Hospital, Archway, London.	FURMAGE, Emma Louisa (I1084)
194	Emma Rose’s second marriage was identified by comparing her parent’s obituaries.	FURMEDGE, Emma Rose (I398)
195	Emma’s surname appears as Furmidge in her baptism record, whilst it is recorded as Furmedge in the GRO Birth Index.	FURMEDGE, Emma (I287)
196	Emma’s surname is recorded as Firmidge in the GRO Birth Index but as Furmage in the baptism register. Her surname is recorded as Firmidge in both the GRO Death Index and burial register, although the latter is slightly illegible. She died aged 5 weeks.	FURMAGE, Emma (I1145)
