  • Notes 
    • John Thomas’ surname is recorded as Firmadge in the Harby parish baptism register. His death is recorded in the GRO Death Index under the name John Thomas Tunbridge and a newspaper death notice also uses that name (e.g., Leicester Daily Mercury published 28th February 1885) and provides an address, 50 Curzon Street, which matches that recorded for Emily Ann Furmidge (John Thomas’ wife) on her two parish marriage register entries. The Grantham Journal published 7th March 1885 also carries a death notice but recording his correct name: John Thomas Furmidge. He was buried at Welford [Road] Cemetery, Leicester on the 25th February 1885 (“John Thomas Tunbridge”, National Burial Index, transcript accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk).

      John Thomas was a builder’s clerk. In 1873, whilst still an apprentice, he was called before the Magistrates Court at Nottingham accused by his master, Mr. Dennett, builder, of absenting himself from work for several days at a time. Mr Dennett had previously chastised him but to no avail and consequently had brought the case to the magistrates. John Thomas was given a warning and told he would be sent to prison if he offended again (published in the Nottingham Gazette, 02 May 1873, accessed on The British Newspaper Archive). No additional newspaper reports were noted.
