  • Notes 
    • Samuel’s name is recorded as Sam Furmage Hardy in the GRO Birth Index and as Samuel Firmadge Hardy in the Harby parish church baptism register which also records him as the illegitimate son of Sarah Hardy, single woman. In later sources his name becomes Samuel Hardy Furmidge. He is named as such, and as one of the sons of Samuel Furmidge, in the latter’s will. It is also noted that in his parish marriage register entry his father’s name is also recorded as Samuel Hardy Furmidge [sic.].

      By 1881 Samuel had joined with his brother, William, in the brewery business in addition to continuing in his father’s footsteps as a Corn Merchant. Whilst William continued with the brewery (see notes for William Hardy Furmidge), Samuel’s occupation appears to have changed to Grazier and in the 1921 census his wife’s occupation in recorded as Grocer. This latter occupation is the one given by Samuel in his will written in 1920. (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 1921).

      The last will and testament of Samuel Hardy Furmidge of Harby, Grocer, was written 27th November 1920 and witnessed by Martin Sunderland Stead of Harby, Blacksmith and Gertrude Elizabeth Watchorn of Harby, Clerk. John James Watchorn of 7, Hardwick Grove, West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, Warehouseman, was named as executor and trustee. His bequests were that his wife Elizabeth be allowed to occupy his freehold messuage saleshop and premises at Harby and make use of all his household furniture and effects during her lifetime after which the same would be sold and held in trust for his children to inherit in equal shares. The will was proved on 15th December 1922.
