251 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)

257 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)
 
258 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.
(Sources: 1911 England & Wales Census, Class: RG14, Piece: 5857, Schedule: 117; 1921 England & Wales Census, Class: RG15, Piece: 5493, Schedule: 236). 
FURMEDGE, James Lasham (I96)
 
259 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)
 
260 James enlisted in the Royal Tank Corps of the British Army on 13 March 1924 and served until 19 December 1945. He was a prisoner of war, captured at Kalamata (Greece) on the 30th April 1941 and imprisoned at Salonika (May 1941 to July 1941), Marburg (July 1941 to August 1941), St Nickolie Stiermark (August 1941 to September 1942), Marburg (October 1942 to November 1942), Wagna (November 1942 to March 1943), Wagna Stiermark (March 1943 to March 1944) and St Nickolie Stiermark (March 1944 to Easter 1945). St Nickolie Stiermark and Wagna Stiermark were working camps where he was engaged in farm work. Note: The War Office Liberated Prisoner of War Questionnaire records his date of birth as 02 June 1905. FURMEDGE, James William Alfred (I193)
 
261 James Furmidge was the farm foreman at Park Lidget, near Newark, from at least 1881 to his death in 1891. (Sources: 1881 England census, Ossington, Southwell, Nottinghamshire, Class: RG11, Piece: 3372, Folio: 44, Page: 5; Wright’s Directory published 1885, entry for Ossington, Page: 543 “Furmidge, James, farm foreman, Park Lidget”; death notice in the Grantham Journal published 20 June 1891). FURMIDGE, James (I489)
 
262 James Henry Furmidge served with the 12th (Service) Battalion, The East Surrey Regiment, having enlisted in June 1915. His biography in De Ruvigny’s Roll of Honour notes that he was educated at St Helen’s National School, Isle of Wight and was a Draper’s Assistant prior to enlisting. He served with the Expeditionary Force in France and Flanders from January 1917, taking part in several engagements. He died at No. 140 Casualty Clearing Station following wounds received in action at Mont Kemmel on 9th August 1918. FURMIDGE, James Henry (I759)
 
263 James Henry Hayter served in the British Army Military Train (which was later re-named the Army Service Corps) enlisting on 08 October 1860 and serving until 26 September 1881. He served in South Africa between June 1879 and May 1880 and was a sergeant at the time on completion of service.

He died following an accident at work in which he was thrown from his mail-cart when the horse stumbled. He was taken to hospital and found to have acute peritonitis from which he died the following day. 
HAYTER, James Henry (I886)
 
264 James was a mariner in the merchant service (as were his brothers Henry and William). He is recorded as a Mate / Able Seaman working in various vessels between 1863 and 1879, and as master of the “Express” between 1889 and 1903. (Data summarised from the Crew List Index Project (CLIP) website). FURMIDGE, James (I766)
 
265 James William Furmidge enlisted as a Private in the Yorkshire Regiment during the Great War, his service numbers were 1522 & 235139. On the 28th April it was reported in several newspapers that he was dangerously ill in hospital in France having received gunshot wounds in his shoulder and right arm. He was at some point transferred to the Wharncliffe War Hospital in Sheffield, Yorkshire, where he died on the 9th July 1917 (Cleveland Standard published 28 April 1917, Page: 3; Tees-side Weekly Herald published 28 April 1917, Page: 5; Stockton Herald published 21st July 1917, Page: 6). FURMIDGE, James William (I726)
 
266 James’ mother’s maiden name has been transcribed as Crombie in the GRO Birth Index but is written as Crummey in the baptism register. His surname could be read as Finmedge in his burial record. He died aged 8 days (his date of death has been calculated based on this information). FURMEDGE, James (I444)
 
267 James’ parish baptism register entry records his date of birth as 25 April 1899 however various other sources (e.g. birth certificate, merchant navy records, 1939 Register and the GRO Death Index) record it as 24 April 1899. FURMEDGE, James (I219)
 
268 James’ surname is recorded as Firmige in his baptism register entry. FURMIDGE, James (I900)
 
269 James’ surname is recorded as Furmadge in both his parish burial register entry and the 1841 England census (Class: HO107, Piece: 405, Folio: 18, Page: 7), however he is recorded as James Furmidge in the GRO Death Index and in Pallot’s Marriage Index. FURMIDGE, James (I858)
 
270 Jane’s surname appears to be recorded as Furmidge in the parish baptism register but is recorded as Furmage in the GRO Birth Index. FURMAGE, Jane (I1238)
 
271 Jane’s surname is recorded as Furmage in the baptism register and as Furmidge in the GRO Death Index. FURMEDGE, Jane (I296)
 
272 Jane’s surname is recorded as Furmidge in the GRO Marriage Index but as Furmedge in the parish marriage register. FURMEDGE, Jane (I384)

276 Jessie was living at 104, Parliament Street, Middlesbrough with her aunt and uncle, John William and Mary Agnes Prior (Mary Agnes was her mother’s younger sister) at the time of her death. Jessie sadly took her own life on 10th or 11th January. She had complained of feeling ill a few days prior but had otherwise appeared in good spirits to her relatives. Her death was reported in a number of local newspapers including the Middlesbrough Standard (published 15th January 1910). FURMIDGE, Jessie (I724)
 
277 John and Annie’s marriage entry records John’s father as George Walker, a brass finisher and the witnesses as John Walker and Jennie White. Searching the Ireland census (1901 & 1911) for George Walker with an occupation including the word “brass” suggests that John’s parents were George and Margaret Walker living at 62, Church Street East, Victoria, County Down, Ireland in 1901; George is a brass finisher. There are several children present in the household but these don’t include John. Researching births to George and Margaret Walker (including those in the 1901 census) reveals that they had children from at least 1872 to 1894 and that Margaret’s maiden name was McDowell. One child was John McDowel [sic.] Walker born at 13 Spruce Street, Belfast on 05 Apr 1887.

Searching for John Walker, born in Belfast about 1887 in the 1901 Ireland census suggests that John was visiting his older sister Margaret Walker (9, Meeting House Street, Ballycross, County Down; household of James & Margaret Walker). Margaret’s husband James is recorded as a “painter”. Another brother, Andrew William Walker, and his wife are also recorded in the household. A similar search of the 1911 Ireland census suggests that John Walker is enumerated with his uncle and aunt, William and Sarah White at 14, Warren Road, Donaghadee, County Down. John is recorded as a “painter”. John’s mother Margaret, now a widow, is enumerated with her father, Robert McDowell, at 17, Warren Road, Donaghadee, County Down. 
WALKER, John (I805)
 
278 John and Priscilla’s marriage has been identified from the parish marriage register (transcript only). There is no entry in the GRO Marriage Index for John Furmidge & Priscilla Wisher, however, there is an entry for John Freebridge & Priscilla Tusher in the same quarter and registration district as would be anticipated based on the parish marriage register entry. (GRO Marriage Index Reference: Apr-Jun 1899, District: Bingham, Nottinghamshire, Volume: 7B, Page: 939). FURMIDGE, John (I450)
 
279 John Andrew’s surname is recorded as either Furmage or Furmadge in his baptism record. FURMIDGE, John Andrew (I908)
 
280 John Edward King joined the Royal Navy on 01 January 1929 and served until 12 July 1941 when he was taken as a prisoner of war. He was later awarded the British Empire Medal, “For his endurance and devotion to duty in handling a crowded lifeboat for 9 days in rough weather after his ship had been lost by enemy action in July 1941” (London Gazette, 16 July 1946; transcript accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk). He returned to service on 28 May 1945 until 21 November 1948. KING, John Edward (I819)
 
281 John Furmidge died, aged 13 years, when he accidentally fell Into a lock of the Grantham Canal and was drowned. The article names his father as Thomas Furmidge, lock-keeper (Lincolnshire Chronicle published 08 November 1839). FURMIDGE, John (I918)
 
282 John Furmidge is recorded as a police constable (“police officer”) in the 1871 England census; he appears to have enlisted sometime between 1861 and 1871 but the exact year is unknown (Class: RG10, Piece: 3227, Folio: 56, Page: 2). A report in the local newspaper records that he was awarded a police pension in 1895 (Leicester Chronicle published 09 November 1895, Page: 3 “Standing Joint Committee”). He retired as a “Merit Class” P.C. and was presented with a watch and chain by the county chief constable, “subscribed for by all ranks of the force as a mark of their regard and respect for their comrades” (Melton Mowbray Times published 24 January 1896, Page: 8 “Police Presentation”). FURMIDGE, John (I699)
 
283 John Furmidge was residence at Crabhayne Farm, Musbury (near Axmouth) at the time of his death. His obituary reports that at his death “…the poor have lost a friend, and society an honest and upright man” (Western Times published 19 May 1838). The farm passed to John’s eldest son, also called John, who is enumerated there in the 1841 England census (Class: HO17, Piece: 200, Folio: 6, Page: 6). The Furmidge family must only have been resident at Crabhayne from 1824 at the earliest as before this Mr Thomas Newbury was the tenant as evidenced by a number of newspaper reports of the estate being auctioned (Taunton Courier and Western Advertiser, published 08 July and 15 July 1818; Sherborne Mercury published 12 April 1824). FURMIDGE, John (I890)
 
284 John Percy Coverdale Totty was a widower when he married Olivia Mary Rayns (maiden-name: Furmidge). He had previously married in 1918 to May Millicent Searle, who died in 1963. TOTTY, John Percy Coverdale (I618)
 
285 John re-married Ann Porter following the death of his first wife Sarah (Furmidge). PEPPER, John (I910)
 
286 John Thomas’ surname is recorded as Firmadge in the Harby parish baptism register. His death is recorded in the GRO Death Index under the name John Thomas Tunbridge and a newspaper death notice also uses that name (e.g., Leicester Daily Mercury published 28th February 1885) and provides an address, 50 Curzon Street, which matches that recorded for Emily Ann Furmidge (John Thomas’ wife) on her two parish marriage register entries. The Grantham Journal published 7th March 1885 also carries a death notice but recording his correct name: John Thomas Furmidge. He was buried at Welford [Road] Cemetery, Leicester on the 25th February 1885 (“John Thomas Tunbridge”, National Burial Index, transcript accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk).

John Thomas was a builder’s clerk. In 1873, whilst still an apprentice, he was called before the Magistrates Court at Nottingham accused by his master, Mr. Dennett, builder, of absenting himself from work for several days at a time. Mr Dennett had previously chastised him but to no avail and consequently had brought the case to the magistrates. John Thomas was given a warning and told he would be sent to prison if he offended again (published in the Nottingham Gazette, 02 May 1873, accessed on The British Newspaper Archive). No additional newspaper reports were noted. 
FURMIDGE, John Thomas (I569)
 
287 John Thomas’ surname is recorded as Furmage in the GRO Birth Index. FURMIDGE, John Thomas (I714)
 
288 John Towle Watkin re-married Mary Letitia Hardstaff Craig at Long Eaton, Derbyshire in 1919. WATKIN, John Towle (I533)
 
289 John Tuxford was born in 1862 to Emma Tuxford, a single woman. He died after the marriage of Emma Tuxford to John Furmidge and both his GRO death index and burial register entries record him as John Tuxford Furmidge. It is unknown if John Furmidge was his biological father. TUXFORD, John (I718)
 
290 John William was in the Royal Air Force based at Catterick, Yorkshire at the time of his marriage in 1938. A newspaper article reporting on his marriage also mentions that John William had a “narrow escape from death in the Quetta earthquake.” (Melton Mowbray Times & Vale of Belvoir Gazette, 13 May 1938. The Quetta earthquake occurred on 31 May 1935 in the early hours of the morning, Quetta being in an area now part of Pakistan, close to the border with southern Afghanistan. “ A quarter of the Cantonment area was destroyed, with military equipment and the Royal Air Force garrison suffering serious damage”. (Wikipedia, “1935 Quetta earthquake” accessed 06 Feb 2025). FURMIDGE, John William (I619)
 
291 John’s date of birth in the GRO Death Index is recorded as 13 Mar 1921 whereas it is recorded as 31 Mar 1921 in the 1939 Register. FURMEDGE, John (I251)
 
292 John’s middle name is recorded as “Cooke” [sic.] in the GRO Death Index. FURMEDGE, John Coote (I261)
 
293 John’s surname in the baptism register appears as Farmedge. FURMEDGE, John Woodrow (I321)
 
294 John’s surname is recorded as either Furmodge or Furmadge in the GRO Birth Index and as Furmage in the baptism register. His given name has been recorded as Joseph in the 1871 England census (Class: RG10, Piece: 2001, Folio: 57, Page: 23). John is recorded as 9 months old in the 1841 census, which was taken on the 6th June 1841, suggesting that John was born around September 1840 (Class: HO107, Piece: 278, Folio: 5, page: 5). FURMEDGE, John (I295)
 
295 John’s surname is recorded as Fourmage in his baptism register entry. Although there is a parish register entry for his marriage to Mary Ann Summers, an entry in the GRO Marriage Index could not be located. FURMIDGE, John (I887)
 
296 John’s surname is recorded as Furmadge in the GRO Death Index but Furmedge in the National Probate Calendar. FURMEDGE, John (I311)
 
297 John’s surname is recorded as Furmidge in the GRO Birth Index; his mother’s maiden name is recorded as Hayward. FURMEDGE, John (I265)
 
298 Joseph Furmedge appears to have re-married prior to the death of his first wife. Divorce was difficult to obtain at this time and it is not unheard of for unhappily married couples to simply go their separate ways and start new relationships.

Joseph is not resident with his first wife in any census year, presumably as he was away from home with the Royal Navy. In the 1861 England census he is enumerated as a crew member on the ship “Algerian” in Hong Kong Harbour (Class: RG9, Piece: 1647, Folio: 260, Page: 32). His first wife, Ann, is recorded as married in the 1871 England census (Class: RG10, Piece: 1128, Folio: 136, Page: 13) but a widow in the 1881 England census (Class: RG11, Piece: 1141, Folio: 74, Page 37), however no death or burial record could be located for Joseph in this time period.

In the marriage record for his assumed second marriage he is recorded as a widower. His stated age of 44 years is a discrepancy as he would have been 54 years based on a birth year of 1818. The information for his father (name and occupation) however is consistent with that recorded for his first marriage.
Joseph is enumerated with his new family in Liverpool in the 1881 and 1891 England census (Class: RG11, Piece: 3601, Folio: 116, Page: 43; Class: RG12, Piece: 2903, Folio: 87, Page: 37). In the 1881 census, Joseph’s surname appears as Fairmadge, he is 70 years old (b. 1811) and born in Liverpool, Lancashire. In the 1891 census, Joseph’s surname appears as Vermidge, he is 75 years old (b. 1816) and born in Portsmouth, Hampshire. There is a death and burial record for Joseph Furmidge, born in about 1818, and who died in Liverpool, Lancashire. 
FURMEDGE, Joseph (I144)
 
299 Joseph Harold’s entry in the baptism register records his date of birth as 9th December 1900 however this is after his baptism date; the order of the entries in the register suggests that the correct date of baptism has been entered and that he was born in 1899. His birth date recorded in the 1939 Register and GRO Death Index is 7th December 1899.

Joseph and Eva’s entry in the parish marriage register in 1922 records Joseph’s occupation as that of soldier and his residence as the Fulford Barracks in York, Depot of the West Yorkshire Regiment. He was awarded the General Service Medal in reference to operations in Kurdistan. Based on his children’s birth locations it appears that he was in India circa.1928. In 1935 he enlisted with the Royal Engineers as a Sapper and served until discharged in June 1939. (Reference: WO372/7/179162, The National Archives & Royal Engineers Tracer Card accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk). 
FURMIDGE, Joseph Harold (I730)
 
300 Joseph’s mother’s maiden name is recorded as Heward in the GRO Birth Index; Joseph’s surname has been transcribed as Fermage in his baptism record. Joseph is not enumerated with his family on the 1851 England census, taken 30th March 1851, suggesting he was born in April 1851 (Class: Ho107, Piece: 1664, Folio: 238, Page: 29). FURMEDGE, Joseph (I271)
