George’s date of birth is recorded as 07 March 1899 in the 1939 Register, his entry in the Royal Navy Register of Seamen’s Services and in the GRO Death Index, however his entry in the Ireland Birth Register confirms that his true date of birth was 07 March 1898. | FURMIDGE, George Henry William (I804)
|
| 202 |
George’s date of birth is recorded as 09 October 1910 in the 1939 Register but as 09 October 1911 in the GRO Death Index. The earlier date is supported by his entry in the GRO Birth Index, his Merchant Navy CR1 form and the World War One Pension Ledgers and Index Cards entry (accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk) for his father George F Dawkins (Service Number: 11154), who was killed Feb 1917. | DAWKINS, George Frederick (I1222)
|
| 203 |
George’s parish marriage entry records his and his father’s surname as Grimboldby and this is also the spelling used by George in his signature. Other records including the England census (1911, 1921), 1939 Register, GRO Death Index and National Probate Calendar record his surname as Grimbleby. George is most likely the son of Thomas Grimbleby who married George’s mother in law, Harriett Furmidge (nee Wakefield) in 1907. | GRIMBLEBY, George (I516)

Georgina’s birth date is recorded as 03 May 1884 in the 1939 Register but 03 May 1885 in the GRO Death Index. Review of the GRO Birth Index suggests 1885 is the correct year. | WARWICK, Georgina (I168)

In the 1851 England census (Class: HO107, Piece: 1674, Folio: 413, Page: 53) Charles Isaac Hill is described as a Sheriffs Officer; he is living with his wife Ellen in Winchester, Hampshire. Reports in the Hampshire Chronicle indicate that he had became an insolvent debtor before or by February 1852, the case continuing at least until the end of 1853. In August 1854, a daughter Anne Ellen Hill is baptised at St George Hanover Square, London, suggesting that both Charles Isaac and Ellen (or possibly only Ellen) had moved to London. The Index to Death Duties 1854 (The National Archives: IR 27/561) and also the National Probate Calendar 1898 indicate that Charles Isaac Hill died either “in or since November 1854” (presumably this is when he was last seen). No other death or burial record has been located. | HILL, Charles Isaac (I393)

In the 1901 England census Rosina E Furmidge is recorded as “separated” and living at 44, King Street, Gosport, Hampshire with four of her children (Class: RG13, Piece: 1012, Folio: 98, Page: 13). The Portsmouth Evening News published 15th March 1901 reported that Rose Furmidge of 44, King Street had been charged with pledging two [bed] sheets to a pawnbroker that did not belong to her. She stated that she was unable to live with her husband due to his conduct and had pawned the sheets as she was in “distressed circumstances”. She was ordered to pay a fine or 3 days’ imprisonment if unable to do so. No record can be found of her after 1911. | YOUNG, Roseina Ellen Jane (I777)

Initial research on Harry George Watson suggests that he was born on 23 July 1844 in Grahamstown, South Africa to Robert and Mary Watson [1]. His wife’s death notice records that she was a widow in 1903, providing an approximate death year for Harry George Watson of before 1903 [2].
No death notice or certificate has been located for Harry George Watson to date; in addition to confirming his death date, this would potentially name his parents and allow calculation of his age. South African marriage records for this time period do not include father / parent details and Harry George’s age is recorded as “full age” only [3].
The death notice for Annie Elizabeth Watson names four children whose baptism records can also be traced confirming them as the children of Harry George and Anne Elizabeth Watson. Harry George Watson’s occupation is recorded as ‘Farmer’ in the 1876 and 1878 baptism records, ‘Farmer and Hotel Keeper’ in 1880 and ‘Hotel Keeper’ in the 1886 baptism records [4]. Their youngest child, Cecil Graham Watson, was born (and baptised) at Peddie in 1886 [4, 5].
The following information suggests that Harry George Watson was the son of Robert and Mary Watson: (1). The baptism record for Harry George Watson, son of Robert and Mary Watson, gives his birth date in 1844 which is within a reasonable time period for Harry George Watson who married Anne Elizabeth Furmidge in 1875; (2) One of Harry George and Anne Elizabeth’s children was named Maude Rees Watson; Mary Watson’s maiden name was Rees [6]; (3) Both Harry George Watson and Robert Watson were hotel keepers [7]; (4) The 1888 obituary for Mary Watson names two sons, James and Henry, the younger of which was resident in Peddie. Harry George Watson’s youngest son was born in Peddie in 1886 [8].
