Notes

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).
