• Notes

  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.
