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.

Thomas Ryan married Elizabeth Furmage in 1894 but no entry can be found for them as a married couple in any subsequent England and Wales census. Based on the civil registration marriage certificate, Thomas Ryan was born about 1865 and was living at 12, Travers Street, Cadoxton, Barry, Glamorganshire at the time of his marriage, his occupation recorded as Water Clerk. His father is recorded as John Ryan, deceased, a Coal Merchant. | RYAN, Thomas (I1744)

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)

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)

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)

Wharfinger: An archaic term for someone who is the keeper or owner of a wharf. 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. The current term would be harbourmaster. Source: Wikipedia. | FURMIDGE, Samuel (I917)

William Burgess was a butcher by trade as evidenced by his 1862 parish marriage record and the 1871 and 1881 England Census (West Mill, Corfe Castle, Class: RG10, Piece: 1993, Folio: 28, Page: 50 & West Mill Cottage, Corfe Castle, Class: RG11, Piece: 2099, Folio: 29, Page: 50). A newspaper report in 1866 records his appearance, with another man, before the County Petty Sessions at Wareham, accused of “being in search of game at Corfe Castle”. He pleaded guilty and was fined 2s 6d and 11s 6d costs (Western Gazette, published 09 March 1866, page 8). Later, on 12 August 1873, he was received at Dorchester Prison having been summarily tried at Corfe Castle and found guilty of stealing ducks; he is described as a butcher, aged 32, married with three children (Dorchester Prison Description of Prisoners Book, 1872-1879; digital image accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk; original data: Dorset History Centre). | BURGESS, William (I1156)

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 Furmage joined the Infantry some time before 1901; he is recorded in the 1901 England census as a Private based at the Dorchester Depot Barracks, St Martin’s Road, Dorchester (Class: RG13, Piece: 2002, Folio: 76, Page: 2). By 1911, he is a Clerk, Second Battalion Dorsetshire Regiment, serving in Poona, India (1911 England and Wales Census: Overseas Military, Ships and Overseas Establishments, Class: RG14, Piece: 34997, Schedule: 9999). He married In Colaba, Bombay, India in 1913 and is recorded as a Corporal in the First Dorsetshires. He served in the First World War from 06 Nov 1914 in the Asiatic Theatre (Mesopotamia and Bushire), a Sergeant in the Second Dorsetshire Regiment (Medal Index Card, The National Archives, WO 372/7/179137). In 1921, he is again enumerated at the Dorchester Depot Barracks, St Martin’s Road, Dorchester, an Army Sergeant (Class: RG15, Piece: 10264, Schedule: 1).

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.

William Henry’s mother’s maiden name is recorded as Heward in the GRO Birth Index.
His obituary implies that he arrived in Australia in about 1878, however this is prior to his marriage to Frances Barker and so it is more likely that he emigrated in or after 1882. The article notes that he was born in Ryde, Isle of Wight. His Queensland death record transcript gives his parents as William Henry Furmedge and Harritte Howard.
The date for his marriage to Emma Benson has only been identified via the details uploaded to the Find A Grave website which has no source citation for the marriage date. Her name, including maiden-name, is however recorded in the Queensland birth record transcript for their children. | FURMEDGE, William Henry (I272)

William is recorded as Wm. Furmadge on the 1871 Canadian Census Nominal Return of the Deaths within the last twelve months. The return records that he was 11 months old at the time of his death. Whilst he is not recorded with his family household, the family are recorded in the 1871 Canadian census living in the same location (Nassagaweya Township) and also with the mis-recorded surname of Furmadge (Roll: C-9956, Page: 33, Family: 122). | FURMIDGE, William (I1006)

William James enlisted in the British Army’s 40th Brigade on 19th February 1880 at Gosport, Hampshire aged 15 years and 6 months. His service number was 1590. He is enumerated in his parents’ household in the 1881 England census, his occupation recorded as “Drummer in the Army” (9, Newport Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight: Class: RG11, Piece: 1178, Folio: 50, Page: 51). He transferred to the 2nd Hampshire Regiment in January 1882 and served in the East Indies from 15 January 1882 to 09 May 1885. Overall his character was noted as “bad”. There are several instances where he was tried and imprisoned (42 days 30 Aug 1882 to 10 Oct 1882; 84 days 04 Nov 1882 to 26 Jan 1883; 84 days 20 Apr 1886 to 12 July 1886; 42 days 15 Dec 1887 to 22 Jan 1888) although it is unclear what for. In January 1889 a medical assessment found that he had “valvular disease of the heart” and he was discharged from the army on 12 March 1889. (The National Archives: WO 97/3144/158).
On his 1890 marriage certificate William’s occupation is recorded as “hawker” and his residence is his parents’ address (10, Newport Street, Ryde). He is neither enumerated with his wife nor his parents in the 1891 England census. Note that William James and Alice Furmidge were also the witnesses to Alice’s sister Caroline’s marriage on 02 April 1890.
In 1889, a William James, age 25 (1863-1864), hawker, was brought before the General Quarter Sessions at Winchester, Hampshire. The record indicates that he had previously been tried at Ryde Borough Sessions for stealing a pair of boots and sentenced to 14 days at Portsmouth. On this occasion he had “unlawfully, by false pretence, obtained from Frederick James Gape one ham, with intent to cheat and defraud, at St Helen’s, on 14th Oct 1889”. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 6 weeks imprisonment (The National Archives: HO 140 / 112 & HO 27 / 217 / 31). A further court record and newspaper article suggests that a William James living in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, was charged in 1891 with pawning a rented (but un-paid for) sewing machine. The article states that he was in the Union Workhouse from 02 April 1891 suffering from “delirium tremens” (alcohol withdrawal induced delirium). His age is not stated only that he alleged to be a pensioner working at the gas works. The details, however, align with a William James, age 27 (1863-1864) born at Ryde, enumerated at the Isle of Wight Union Workhouse in the 1891 England census (taken 05 April), although the census records his occupation at “formerly cooper”. (The National Archives: HO 27 / 220 / 38; Isle of Wight County Press published 18 April 1891; 1891 England Census: RG12 / 889 / 86 / 12). It cannot be proved that this William James is the same man as the husband of Alice Furmidge however circumstantially it seems possible.
No further record of William Henry James has been found. | JAMES, William Henry (I843)

William was a mariner in the merchant service (as were his brothers Henry and James). He is recorded in the Register of Masters for 1845 & 1846, involved in the home trade and based out of Cowes. In 1866, he was the owner and master of a vessel “Three Brothers”, registered at Wootton Bridge, Isle of Wight. (The National Archives: BT115 / 4, accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk & Crew List Index Project (CLIP) website).

William’s date of birth is recorded as 06 October 1899 in the 1939 Register whereas his entry in the GRO Death Index gives his date of birth as 02 October 1900 (Jul-Sep 1977, Isle of Wight, Volume: 20, Page: 1771). Searching the GRO Birth Index for William James Richard Norris between 1898 and 1902 anywhere in England only gives one result which is for the Oct-Dec quarter of 1902 (Registration District: Isle of Wight, Volume: 2B, Page: 582). This is also the entry for Ada’s cousin (of the same name), who was the son of Sarah Furmidge and Walter Edward Norris. | NORRIS, William James Richard (I806)

William’s surname appears to be recorded as Furmage in the parish baptism register and as Furmidge in his death certificate. In the 1851 England census the names of his wife (Emma) and daughter (Mary Ann) appear to have been transposed (Class: HO17, Piece: 1664, Folio: 238, Page: 29; 2, Union Road, Newchurch, Isle of Wight). His death certificate (1856) also records his residence as 2, Union Road, Ryde, Hampshire.
As William is not resident with his parents in the 1841 census (Class: HO107, Piece: 279, Folio: 11, Page: 17) and his place of birth is recorded as “Eland, Hampshire” in the 1851 census the evidence that he is the son of John Furmedge and Ann Lasham is circumstantial. His parish marriage register record gives his father as John Furmedge, Labourer which is consistent with him being the son of John Furmedge & Ann Lasham. There is a baptism record for a William Furmedge, son of John & Ann Lasham, who is otherwise not identifiable from the records; assuming the baptism occurred close to birth, the age is correct for the William Furmedge who married Emma Heward and then died in 1856. No birth / baptism record could be identified for a William Furmedge (or common surname variants) born in Hampshire about 1818-1819 with a father called John. Likewise no death / burial record could be located for a William Furmedge, born to John & Ann Furmedge, baptised 1818, who died prior to adulthood in Dorset. Finally the 1841 England census was reviewed to try to identify a William Furmedge b. 1815-1820 in either Dorset or Hampshire. The only relevant match was a William Furmidge, age 26, a Male Servant, resident with his employer in Kensington, London and who was not born in the county where he was resident (and so could potentially have been born in either Dorset or Hampshire). | FURMEDGE, William (I268)
