The only baptism entry for a son of John and Mary Furmidge born about 1802 at Musbury, Devon records his name as Robert William Culverwell Furmidge. No further record of a Robert William Culverwell Furmidge has been identified and John and Mary had a further child called Robert born about 1805. It has therefore been assumed that this is the son who became known as Edward Furmidge in later records.
The GRO Death Index records his surname as Furmage however it is recorded as Furmidge in his burial record. His obituary notes that he was the youngest [surviving] son of John Furmidge of Crabhayne Farm, Axmouth, and that his death left behind a wife and six children. | FURMIDGE, Edward (I876)

The parish marriage register records Alfred Thomas Furmedge’s father’s name as “Thomas Furmedge”. | FURMEDGE, Alfred Thomas (I158)

The parish marriage register shows that Minnie Furmedge married Sydney George Smith in 1898 however she does not appear on any census with her husband following the marriage and no suitable death record has been located.
The 1911 England census records a James & Minnie Furmedge living at 18, Pickering Place South, Paddington, London (Class: RG14, Piece: 51, Schedule: 395). They had been married 12 years and had no children. Minnie is recorded as having been born about 1875 in Yeovil, Somerset (where William and Abi Furmedge were living in 1891 and also where Minnie was in domestic service in 1891). James was born about 1867 at Henley, Berkshire. There is no obvious marriage record in 1898-1900 for a James Furmedge (or common surname variants) and Minnie or a suitable birth record for James Furmedge (or common surname variants).
The 1919 Register of Electors for South Paddington records James Harrison Furmidge and Minnie Furmidge living at 19, South Wharf Road (Reference: RE/PadS/Autumn1919, City of Westminster Archives; accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk). The 1921 England census for the same address records Minnie Furmedge (born about 1875, Beaminster, Dorset) and a lodger, James Harrison (born about 1865 at Remenham Parish, Berkshire (which is near Henley-on-Thames, Berkshire)). Both indicate that they are married. It is assumed that this is the same couple as in the 1911 England census and the 1919 Register of Electors. In 1939, Minnie Furmedge is a widow living at 54, North Wharf Road, Paddington, London (Class: RG101, Piece: 416C). Her date of birth is recorded as 20 March 1875, the same as in the birth certificate for Minnie Furmedge, daughter of William and Abi Furmedge. | FURMEDGE, Minnie (I284)

The spelling of Emma’s maiden-name varies between Heward and Howard (sometimes Hayward). A marriage record has not been identified for William Wallace and Emma. The date range for the marriage is based on the death of Emma’s first husband, William Furmedge, and the birth of her first child with William Wallace. | HEWARD, Emma (I269)

The surname in the GRO Marriage Index has been recorded as FURNEDGE, however, this is spelt FURMEDGE in the parish marriage register and all other details in the parish register confirm that this record is correctly assigned. Similarly, the surname in the GRO Death Index has been recorded as FURNEDGE, whilst the National Probate Calendar records FURMEDGE. | FURMEDGE, Charles William John (I57)

There are a number of discrepancies on Alice Beatrice Harris’ marriage affidavit. She states she is twenty-one years old, and therefore born about 1900, and that she was born in Bracebridge, Muskoka, she gives her father’s name as Albert Edward Harris and her mother’s maiden name appears to be Mallory. In the 1911 Canadian census, she is living with her family at Muskoka, Ontario, aged 6 and born 1904 in England. Her family emigrated to Canada in 1905; a younger sister, Ethel Phoebe, was born at Bracebridge, Muskoka. Her parents are recorded as Alfred Edward Harris and Emma Jane Smaldon. (Sources: (1) 1911 Canada census, Muskoka, Ontario: T-20385, Pages: 21 & 22; (2) 1906 Ontario Birth Index entry for Ethel Phoebe Harris accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk; (3) 1904 Baptism Register entry for Alice Beatrice Harris at Christ Church, Bermondsey, London Metropolitan Archives Reference P71/CTC1 accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk; (4) 1882 Marriage Register entry for Alfred Edward Harris & Emma Jane Smaldon, at All Saints, Rotherhithe, Surrey, London Metropolitan Archives Reference P71/ALL accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk). | HARRIS, Alice Beatrice (I1058)

There are two baptism records for Anne Read Furmidge, one in 1826 at Axmouth, Devon and one in 1827 at Musbury, Devon. The second baptism occurs only 5 months after that for Anne’s sister Mary Culverwell Furmidge. Due to this timing, and no evidence for the death of an earlier Anne Read Furmidge, it has been assumed that the two baptisms are for the same child and that the second baptism was performed due to a change in the church the family attended. The first baptism for Anne Read Furmidge in 1826 is the only baptism of Anne and her siblings to be performed at Axmouth, all other baptisms occurred at Musbury, whilst the parents abode was recorded as Axmouth until after 1831. | FURMIDGE, Anne Read (I878)
|
| 659 |
There are two baptism register entries for a Robert Furmidge son of John and Mary Furmidge at Musbury, Devon. As no burial record has been entered for a Robert Furmidge buried prior to the second baptism, resulting in a second child being given the same name, it has been assumed that both baptisms relate to the same child. There is no indication in the records to explain a second baptism, for example, the first baptism being performed at the parents’ home and the second in church. | FURMIDGE, Robert (I992)
|

There are two entries in the GRO Marriage Index with the same reference: Robert S Furmedge & Cynthia M Poulter or Robert S Furmedge & Cynthia M Sergeant. According to the details on the marriage certificate, “Cynthia Muriel Sergeant was formerly known as Cynthia M Poulter” and her previous marriage had been dissolved. Her father was Louis Meinertzhagen, a mechanical engineer. | MEINERTZHAGEN, Cynthia Muriel (I463)

There is no apparent entry for George Furmidge in the GRO Birth or Death Index, however he is recorded in the parish baptism and burial registers. In contrast, there is a GRO Birth and Death Index entry for Robert Furmidge but no parish register entries; a notice published in the Nottinghamshire Guardian on 23rd February 1860 (Page 12) records the death of Robert, aged 10 months, son of Lyne Furmidge. It has been confirmed that both George and Robert Furmidge were born and died on similar dates. It is possible that they were twins however it seems odd that only one child, George, has a parish burial (and baptism) entry. It has therefore been assumed that George and Robert are the same child. | FURMIDGE, Robert (I492)

There is no evidence that William Herbert Furmedge married. He is single on enlistment to the Devonshire Regiment, in 1917, aged 40 (WO363; The National Archives). The 1939 Register records a William H Furmedge, gardener at the Dorchester Public Assistance Institution, Damers Road, Dorchester, who is single, however the date of birth recorded is 09 Aug 1877 (not 1873; the day is also partly illegible: RG101-6919D).
A William Furmedge died at Damers Hospital, Dorchester, Dorset, England on 22nd November 1956, aged 83 years. There is also a William Furmedge buried at Dorchester Cemetery, aged 83 years, however the Dorchester Town Council Cemetery Searcher system (https://cemeterysearcher.co.uk/search/dorchester, accessed 02 May 2024) has no year of death / burial or birth recorded and there is no gravestone. Although there is no specific information on the death certificate or cemetery record to confirm they relate to William Herbert Furmedge (son of William Furmedge & Abi Dawe) it seems likely given the age at death and location and the lack of other potential matches. | FURMEDGE, William Herbert (I283)

Theresa’s surname is recorded as Furmage in the GRO birth and death indexes and on her birth certificate, however it is recorded as Furmedge in the parish burial register. She was 5 weeks old at the time of her death and was resident at West Lulworth, Dorset. | FURMEDGE, Theresa Lovelass (I426)

Thomas Furmidge was a miller by occupation. In 1812 he inherited a windmill, the grounds in which the windmill stood, as well as pasture grounds in Redmile from his grandfather Thomas Furmidge (Last Will & Testament of Thomas Furmidge of Redmile, Leicestershire, dated 18 April 1811). The 1832 Poll Book for Redmile (Framland hundred) records Thomas as owning freehold land called Mill Close. There are two possible entries for Thomas in the 1841 Poll Books, one at Redmile and one at Bottesford (both in Framland hundred). The Redmile entry is for a Thomas Furmidge owner / occupier of a house and land in Redmile. The Bottesford entry is for a Thomas Furmidge resident at Bottesford and holding freehold land named as “Hospital Land” (there are several individuals also listed as owning “Hospital Land”). The 1841 England census records Thomas Furmidge, born about 1781 in Leicestershire, “Independent” and living at the Men’s Hospital, Bottesford (Class: HO107, Piece: 587, Folio: 17, Page: 26). This may be Dr Fleming’s Hospital, Market Street, Bottesford. Based on the Poll Book entry and 1841 census it is unclear if Thomas was a patient at the hospital or if he was possibly one of several subscribers owning the hospital land. Thomas’ burial at Redmile notes that he was resident in Bottesford at the time of his death. | FURMIDGE, Thomas (I961)

Thomas Hardy Furmidge was a cricketer in his youth and tried out for the Nottinghamshire county team. During the First World War he served with the Army Veterinary Corps in Salonika. Afterwards he became head groundsman for the Beeston Boiler Company and for Messrs. Thomas Forman. He retired in 1956. (Nottingham Evening Post published 24th July 1970 “Diamond day couple”). | FURMIDGE, Thomas Hardy (I592)

Thomas married in Kirkee, which in the British era was in the Poona District of Bombay (Mumbai). Kirkee was also known as Khadki. In recording that the marriage was in Khadki, Maharashtra, I have attempted to record the modern day location. Note the Army Returns record the marriage year as 1944 [sic.]. | FURMEDGE, Thomas Leslie (I175)

Thomas was engaged in the Royal Navy as a Stroker between Nov 1929 and Feb 1933 when he was invalided out (The National Archives: ADM 363/217/8, Official Number: K62816). He was then possibly employed in the Merchant Navy; the 1939 Register records his occupation as Ships Fireman and quotes his Discharge ‘A’ certificate number. He later appears on various passenger ship manifests as a member of crew, his position described as a storekeeper. | FURMAGE, Thomas Alfred (I1220)
|
| 671 |
Thomas was living at 15, Middle Orchard Street, Stapleford (the same address as in the 1939 Register) at the time of his death in 1964, however, he died at Sherwood Hospital in Nottingham. | FURMIDGE, Thomas (I457)

Thomas’ surname is recorded as Furmidge in the GRO Birth Index but as Fairmidge in his baptism record. His mother’s maiden name is recorded as Crummey in the GRO Birth Index but as Crummy in the baptism record.

Using a timeline comparison it has been concluded that George E Furmidge, the son of Mary A Furmedge, born about 1867, Ryde, Isle of Wight and Edward George Furmidge who married Elizabeth Jane Jewells in 1896 are the same person. A surname spelling change from Furmedge to Furmidge appears to be consistent in the records and not a spelling deviation / error.
George E Furmidge, aged 4 and born in Ryde, is enumerated as the son of Mary A Furmidge in the 1871 England census (South Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, Class: RG10, Piece: 1165, Folio: 123, Page: 32). They are boarding with the Dyer family including William John Dyer. No GRO Birth Index entry or baptism record (between 1865 and 1869) has been located for George E Furmidge to confirm his parentage. It is probable that he is recorded as Edward Dyer in the 1881 England census, together with his mother who is recorded as Mary Dyer (12 Prince Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, Class: RG11, Piece: 1178, Folio: 114, Page: 23).
An Edward Furmidge, born 1865-1866 Isle of Wight, is enumerated as a boarder with the Becham Household at 2, South Road, Portsea, Hampshire in the 1891 England census. His occupation is Leading Stoker, Royal Navy (Class: RG12, Piece: 858, Folio: 55, Page: 33). There is a Royal Navy Service Record for Edward George Furmidge giving his birth date as 14 January 1866 at Ryde. No GRO Birth Index entry or baptism record has been located for him. His first date of engagement is 28 April 1885 and in 1891 his rating as Leading Stoker is consistent with the 1891 England census entry noted above. All further England census entries noted, as well as marriage and death entries, relate to this Edward George Furmidge.
The parish marriage record (transcript) for Edward George Furmidge and Elizabeth Jane Jewells confirms that Edward George was born in 1866-1867. His father is recorded as William Furmidge rather than being left blank, however no record of an Edward George Furmidge born to a William Furmidge has been found.
There are no specific linking factors that would confirm without doubt that these two individuals are the same person. Of interest, however, Edward George Furmidge died of Bright’s Disease as did [his grandfather] William Furmidge, both in their mid-30s. Bright’s Disease, now known as nephritis, is an archaic term for a number of different kidney diseases with different causes (e.g., autoimmune, infections etc.) however there are also hereditary forms of the disease.
At the time of his death, Edward was a Master-at-Arms in the Royal Navy. | FURMIDGE, Edward George (I429)

Verna’s mother is recorded as Sarah Furmidge (not Georgina Martha) on her death notice however her father is correctly recorded as Walter Henry Furmidge (deceased).

Vincent’s surname is recorded as Firmidge in the Harby parish baptism register. Vincent Furmidge is enumerated as a lodger / boarder of Elizabeth Holmes (maiden-name: Stallabrass) in the 1891 and 1901 England census; they married in 1902 (Class: RG12, Piece: 2681, Folio: 63, Page 8 (note: Vincent’s age is recorded as 26); & Class: RG13, Piece: 3188, Folio: 40, Page: 21). Vincent was a partner of Messrs. Morris Wilkinson and Co., wicker furniture manufacturers of Basford which was founded by Thomas Morris and John Wilkinson in about 1889, transferring to the Victoria Works and Springfield Works, Basford, in 1896. In 1921 it became a private limited company of which Vincent Furmidge was a director (Nottingham Evening Post published 19th March 1931). Vincent appears to have had no children with either Elizabeth or his second wife Caroline. | FURMIDGE, Vincent (I572)

Violet May was a widow on her marriage to Ernest William and her surname is recorded as Higginbotham in the GRO Marriage Index entry. She previously married Eric Ernest Higginbotham in 1940; he died in 1970. | ALLEN, Violet May (I752)

Walter Furmidge’s birth date precedes his parents’ marriage date by several months. Both his birth certificate and parish baptism record confirm him as the son of John Furmidge (spelt Furmage in the baptism register) and Mary Ann (or Marianne) Summers. His birth certificate indicates that John and Mary Ann were not married since Mary Ann’s surname is recorded as Summers rather than ‘Furmidge (formerly Summers)’. For his death registration and entry in the parish burial register however his name has been recorded as Walter Summers (or Summer). His death certificate confirms that he was the son of Mary Ann Summers and died aged 5 weeks (which is consistent with a birth date in July 1841). | FURMIDGE, Walter (I988)
|
| 684 |
Walter Henry Furmidge’s death date is recorded in his wife’s death notice. A death notice for Walter Henry Furmidge has not been located to confirm this date or his place of death. | FURMIDGE, Walter Henry (I1063)

Walter Henry is recorded in the 1891 England census as Walter Henry Furmidge, step-son of Walter E Norris (Class: RG12, Piece: 892, Folio: 68, Page: 9). In the 1901 and 1911 England census he is recorded as William Henry Norris and appears to have retained that surname until his death in 1936 (Class: RG13, Piece: 1025, Folio: 88, Page: 27 & Class: RG14, Piece: 5722, Schedule: 258).
He married Mary Allnutt on 5th September 1917 at St John, Oakfield, Isle of Wight and lived with her until October 1919 when he deserted her. He then lived with Ellen Sophia Bridger until his death. In 1937, Ellen Sophia Bridger was tried and imprisoned for impersonating Mary Allnutt and claiming to be Walter’s widow in order to claim a pension (Taunton Courier & Western Advertiser, published 27th November 1937). | FURMIDGE, Walter Henry (I787)

He is responsible for goods delivered to the wharf, typically has an office on the wharf or dock, and is responsible for day-to-day activities including slipways, keeping tide tables and resolving disputes.

William Edward Furmidge (known as Edward Furmidge) joined the Metropolitan Police on 09 December 1850 (MEPO 4/334, The National Archives). He was based at ‘B’ division (Westminster) when in January 1852 he and two other ‘B’ division police constables were brought before the local police court accused of having used unnecessary violence against the landlord of the The Prince of Wales beer-house. The case was referred to the Middlesex Sessions where it was heard on 04 February 1852 and the three police constables acquitted by a jury (Daily News (London, England) published 10 January 1852, Page: 6; Morning Post (London, England) published 05 February 1852, Page: 8). Edward resigned from the Metropolitan Police on 10 August 1853.
A later newspaper article indicates that he may have worked in London as a detective. Whilst the Metropolitan Police had a detectives department he may instead have been employed as a private detective. However, it is not certain that this article is referring to William Edward Furmidge born c. 1830, Axmouth (Chester Courant (Chester, Cheshire) published 30 July 1862, Page: 2). He is described as a ‘servant’ in his 1863 parish marriage record and as a lodging house keeper in the 1871 (and later) England census returns (Athelstan Road, Margate, Kent, Class: RG10, Piece: 993, Folio: 96, Page: 22). | FURMIDGE, William Edward Read (I872)

He was in the merchant service in the 1920’s and through to at least 1939 and records his occupation as second engineer in the 1939 Register (The National Archives: BT 348 & BT 349). | FURMIDGE, William Edward (I838)

William Frederick Furmidge was enlisted in the Pioneer Corps between 01 Oct 1942 and 17 Oct 1946, when he was released to the Army Reserve. He served in various companies of the Pioneer Corps however in 1944 he was part of 161 Company and embarked for North West Europe where he appears to have been posted until his release.

William Furmidge was a commercial traveller for Messrs. Abbott and Lane, Lion Confectionary Works, for 22 years. He was engaged to Miss Pullen of Nottingham at the time of his death, his wife Rose (the only daughter of the late Mr & Mrs William Dickman) having died in 1912. He suffered a heart attack and other complications following catching a chill and this led to his death at the age of 46 years. William and Rose had no children.

William Hardy is recorded in the Harby parish church baptism register as the illegitimate son of Sarah Hardy, single woman. In later sources his name becomes William Hardy Furmidge. He is named as such, and as one of the sons of Samuel Furmidge, in the latter’s will.
Following his father’s death in 1875, William appears to have taken on Samuel’s business (as indicated by Samuel’s will) as a Corn, Cake & Coal Merchant. By 1881, however, William and his brother Samuel had started a brewing company, W&S Furmidge and/or W. Furmidge & Co., at the Vale Brewery, Harby, Leicestershire. In 1895, William Furmidge partnered with George Kemp and the company name changed to “Furmidge and Kemp”, farmers, coal & corn merchants in addition to malting at Stathern. The brewery was bought by Edward Oakden in 1895, with Furmidge & Company now only listed as farmers and merchants. (Article: “Vale Brewery Co (W Furmidge & Co), Harby, Leicestershire”, accessed on https://breweryhistory.com/wiki/, 02 Feb 2025; supported by occupation reported in the England census 1881 to 1901).
The last will and testament of William Hardy Furmidge of Wilford Grove, Nottingham, Corn Salesman, was written on the 8th October 1874 and witnessed by O.T. Turner, Solicitor of Nottingham and Jno. Thos. Press, solicitor’s clerk. He appointed his wife, Olivia Furmidge, as sole executrix and bequeathed his real and personal estate to her. The will was proved on the 27th March 1913.
