351 Massicault War Cemetery FURMEDGE, Harold Victor (I179)
 
352 Maud (or Maude) is recorded twice in the GRO Marriage Index for Jul-Sep 1950, as Maude Saunders and also as Maude Clark, indicating that she was a divorcee at the time of her marriage to Albert William Furmage. She had previously married Eli Clark in 1932 (GRO Marriage Index, Oct-Dec 1932, District: Bristol, Gloucestershire, Volume: 6A, Page: 37). The 1939 Register records her with her first husband Eli Clark, however the register has later been updated with her new surname of Furmage. Her date of birth in the 1939 Register and the GRO Death Index is recorded as 27 July 1902 however it is recorded as 22 July 1902 in her baptism record. SAUNDERS, Maud (I1751)
 
353 Maud is recorded as being 10 months old on the 1861 England census, which was taken 7th April 1861, suggesting she was born about May or June 1860. Her birth place is recorded as Gillingham, Dorset. FURMEDGE, Maud (I111)

359 Myrtle has two entries in the GRO Marriage Index for Apr-Jun 1951, one as Myrtle Thomas and the other as Myrtle Carter, indicating that she was most probably a divorcee. Her entry in the 1939 Register supports that her maiden-name was Thomas and that she married at least twice after 1939 (Carter & Furmedge). Her first marriage was to Edward V H Carter in 1941. She then married Charles Norman Furmedge in 1951. In 1982, after the death of Charles, she appears to have married Frederick F C Binstead (he died in 2017). THOMAS, Myrtle (I141)

367 No entry for Richard in the GRO Birth Index has been identified to date.

Richard was an assistant guard employed by the South Western Railway Company. He died whilst working as the rear guard on a late night train in the area of Twickenham and New Hampton, Surrey. At an inquest, his death was deemed accidental and it was concluded that he had been looking out of the train for a signal when he had been struck by a scaffold pole, at a bridge that was under repair, and subsequently drawn through the window of the train. A subscription was opened at Twickenham Station to raise money for his widow. (Sources: “West Lulworth”, Weymouth Telegram, Friday 12 July 1878, Page: 3; “Twickenham”, Richmond and Twickenham Times, Saturday 20 July 1878, Page: 6; both accessed on The British Newspaper Archive.) 
FURMEDGE, Richard (I294)
 
368 No entry in the GRO Birth Index can be found for a “Annice Gertrude Ellerby” however “Annice Gertrude” are her given names recorded on the GRO Marriage and Death Indexes and also in the 1911 England census (Class: RG14, Piece: 20840, Schedule: 189). In 1901, William Furmidge, a married man, is boarding with Henry & Sarah Ellerby in Town Street, Sandiacre, Derbyshire and it is assumed that these are Annice Gertrude’s parents (Class: RG13, Piece: 3208, Folio: 117, Page: 31). Annice Gertrude is recorded in the 1901 census as “Gertie Furmidge”, a married woman, and is enumerated with her grandparents, John and Mary A Seabrook, at 128, High Street, Whittington, Derbyshire (Class: RG13, Piece: 3253, Folio: 28, Page: 4). Review of earlier census records for Henry and Sarah Ellerby and their family suggest that Annice Gertrude is recorded as “Annie” or “Annie G”; it is noted that there is also a younger daughter, born about 1882, named “Ann E” [Ann Ellen] - it seems unlikely that both daughters would have been christened Ann or Annie. Review of the GRO Birth Index reveals an “Alice Gertrude Ellerby” registered in 1880 in the Shardlow, Derbyshire Registration District whose mother’s maiden name was Seabrook; the details on the birth certificate confirm the parents as Henry and Sarah Ellerby. ELLERBY, Annice Gertrude (I534)
 
369 No record for William Henry Furmidge has been found after 1911. He is enumerated in his uncle Henry William Furmidge’s household in the 1911 England census (6, Park Road, Ryde, Isle of Wight: Class: RG14, Piece: 5724, Schedule: 20). FURMIDGE, William Henry (I795)
 
370 No record has been identified for Mary after the 1891 Channel Islands census where she is a widow, living at 19, Dorset Street, St Helier, Jersey with her two daughters, Florence and Rose (Reference: Class: RG12, Piece: 4695, Folio: 157, Page: 9). In the 1901 census, her three children are enumerated in the household of their grandfather James Furmedge and his unwedded daughter, Alice (7, Dorset Street, St Helier, Jersey; Reference: Class: RG13, Piece: 5313, Folio: 119, Page: 6) and in the 1911 census her three children are enumerated in the household of their unwedded aunt Alice; they are all listed as Dressmakers (68, Great Union Road, St Helier, Jersey; Reference: Class: RG14, Piece: 34914, Schedule: 71). LENNON, Mary (I101)
 
371 Norman John Furmage was a Steward in the Merchant Services. He volunteered in 1915, serving on the S.S. “Carisbrooke Castle”, a hospital ship bringing troops home from the Western Front and later an Army Troop Ship in the Mediterranean. He was on board the S.S. “Warborough” when she was torpedoed and sunk off St Ives. (The National Roll of the Great War: Section IV, Southampton; The Wartime Memories Project, www.wartimememoriesproject.com). He appears to have continued to work as a Steward on various passenger ships, sailing between Bermuda or Buenos Aires and New York, until about 1939. In September 1938 he filed a “Declaration of Intention” of staying in the United States and in 1940 filed for naturalisation which was granted in May 1944.

Norman’s naturalisation documentation records his marriage to his first wife, Elizabeth Florence Maggs, on 20 April 1923, however the marriage was registered in the January-March quarter of that year, so he must have married a month or so earlier than this. It also records that his second marriage, to Florence McGlew, was on 19 June 1944, and there is an entry in the New Jersey Marriage Index to support this, however the Index to Marriage Licenses for New York records that the marriage occurred in Manhattan, New York, on 27 September 1941.

392 Phoebe and Walter appear to have separated in about 1929, from which point Phoebe is resident with her sister Elizabeth Furmidge ([1]. Electoral Rolls 1920 to 1931 for 9, Frodsham Street, Marfleet, Sculcoates, Yorkshire. [2]. 1939 Register entry for 177a Spring Bank, Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire: Class: RG101, Piece: 3138I; note Phoebe’s date of birth is recorded as 28 October 1885). Phoebe’s will names her sister, Elizabeth, as her sole beneficiary (Grant and will obtained from www.gov.uk). FURMIDGE, Phoebe Mary (I691)
 
393 Phoebe’s parents emigrated from England to America in about 1880 where they spent around 10 years living in various parts of the country before returning to England and settling in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire (“Golden Wedding of Stapleford Residents” in the Nottingham Journal, 4th January 1929, Page: 3). ORGAN, Phoebe (I541)

400 Richard and Elizabeth’s marriage record provides a place of birth and parents’ names (including mother’s maiden name). Richard was born in Perranarworthal, Cornwall the son of John Millett, a miner, and Mary Dunstan. Richard’s entry in the GRO Birth Index as well as the 1851 and 1861 England Census for Perranarworthal, Cornwall indicate that the surname could be either Mellett or Millett (1851: Class: HO107, Piece: 1911, Folio: 23, Page: 2; 1861: Class: RG9, Piece: 564, Folio: 105, Page: 15). It is not clear when Richard travelled to Australia, except that it was sometime after 1861.

Richard and Elizabeth had four children, the youngest two were twins and died aged 3 and 11 weeks. This is the same year (1878) in which Elizabeth died suggesting that her death may have been related to the children’s birth. At this point the family had moved 375km from Durham Lead to Eldorado, Victoria, Australia. (Note: the Victoria Birth Index for the period concerned includes the name, including mother’s maiden name, of the parents allowing confidence that children born to a couple have been correctly identified).

The evidence for Richard’s death date and place is circumstantial as none of the sources cited provide details that confirm the correct Richard Millett has been identified, however, an accumulation of other information suggests that it is correct. Namely: (1) The newspaper notice for his funeral refers to him as Richard Millett “senior” suggesting there is a son of the same or a similar name; Richard and Elizabeth’s second eldest child was named Richard Charles. (2) There is evidence that the family lived in the areas of Kanowna, Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie in Western Australia (all of which are within 50-100km of each other): (a) It is possible that two of Richard and Elizabeth’s grandchildren by their eldest son (Albert John) were born in Western Australia; (b) Richard and Elizabeth’s son Richard Charles married in Coolgardie in 1898; (c) Their son Richard Charles had a son Charles Richard (b. 1899, d. 1900) who is buried at Kanowna (which is also the residence of the Richard Millett in the newspaper notice). 
MILLETT, Richard (I353)
