• Notes

  William Furmidge was a commercial traveller for Messrs. Abbott and Lane, Lion Confectionary Works, for 22 years. He was engaged to Miss Pullen of Nottingham at the time of his death, his wife Rose (the only daughter of the late Mr & Mrs William Dickman) having died in 1912. He suffered a heart attack and other complications following catching a chill and this led to his death at the age of 46 years. William and Rose had no children.
