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].

Initial research suggests that Ann Furmedge was Charles’ second wife. He first married Ann Amelia Grant in 1849 and she died in 1881. On his marriage to Ann Furmedge, Charles states that he was a widower. Following Ann’s death, he may have re-married in 1887, to Emma Cole. | ENGLISH, Charles (I371)

It is not possible to confirm exactly when Reginald’s mother’s relationship with Edward Furmidge started or if Reginald is the biological son of Edward Furmidge or William Jenkins. Both his birth certificate and baptism register entry record his father as William Jenkins and Reginald appears to retain the Jenkins surname his entire life. Indications that he may be the son of Edward Furmidge are: (1) the addition of Furmidge as his middle name; (2) he is described as Edward’s son (rather than step-son) on the 1891 and 1901 England census but is also recorded with the Jenkins (rather than Furmidge) surname and so this evidence is potentially weak; (3) his father is recorded as “Edward Jenkins” on his parish marriage record, however as he was brought up by Edward Furmidge, whilst Jenkins is his own surname, this concatenation may have been a matter of form rather than proof of his paternity; (4) interestingly Reginald is recorded as being born in Austin Street (the same street recorded as William & Elizabeth Ann Jenkins’ address on Albert Edward Curtis Jenkins’ baptism record in 1884) however the abode recorded on Reginald’s baptism record is Newstead Street, where Edward Furmidge and Elizabeth Ann Jenkins are living in the 1891 England census. Could the birth of Reginald have been the triggering point for Elizabeth to move out of William Jenkins’ household and into that of Edward Furmidge? (1891 England census: Class: RG12, Piece: 2673, Folio: 55, Page: 16; 1901 England census: Class: RG13, Piece: 3191, Folio: 27, Page: 14). | JENKINS, Reginald Furmidge (I549)

James and Sophie had had no children by the time of the 1911 census and there are also no children (under 15 years) indicated on the 1921 census.

James date of birth is recorded as 27 Dec 1915 in the 1939 Register and the GRO Death Index, whereas his entry in the baptism register records 27 Dec 1916. As his birth was registered in Jan-Mar 1917 it seems unlikely he was born in December 1915. | FURMEDGE, James (I249)

James enlisted in the Royal Tank Corps of the British Army on 13 March 1924 and served until 19 December 1945.

St Nickolie Stiermark and Wagna Stiermark were working camps where he was engaged in farm work.

James Furmidge was the farm foreman at Park Lidget, near Newark, from at least 1881 to his death in 1891.
