Notes

It is not possible to confirm exactly when Reginald’s mother’s relationship with Edward Furmidge started or if Reginald is the biological son of Edward Furmidge or William Jenkins. Both his birth certificate and baptism register entry record his father as William Jenkins and Reginald appears to retain the Jenkins surname his entire life. Indications that he may be the son of Edward Furmidge are: (1) the addition of Furmidge as his middle name; (2) he is described as Edward’s son (rather than step-son) on the 1891 and 1901 England census but is also recorded with the Jenkins (rather than Furmidge) surname and so this evidence is potentially weak; (3) his father is recorded as “Edward Jenkins” on his parish marriage record, however as he was brought up by Edward Furmidge, whilst Jenkins is his own surname, this concatenation may have been a matter of form rather than proof of his paternity; (4) interestingly Reginald is recorded as being born in Austin Street (the same street recorded as William & Elizabeth Ann Jenkins’ address on Albert Edward Curtis Jenkins’ baptism record in 1884) however the abode recorded on Reginald’s baptism record is Newstead Street, where Edward Furmidge and Elizabeth Ann Jenkins are living in the 1891 England census. Could the birth of Reginald have been the triggering point for Elizabeth to move out of William Jenkins’ household and into that of Edward Furmidge?
