  • Notes 
    • 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.
