  • Notes 
    • The only baptism entry for a son of John and Mary Furmidge born about 1802 at Musbury, Devon records his name as Robert William Culverwell Furmidge. No further record of a Robert William Culverwell Furmidge has been identified and John and Mary had a further child called Robert born about 1805. It has therefore been assumed that this is the son who became known as Edward Furmidge in later records.

      The GRO Death Index records his surname as Furmage however it is recorded as Furmidge in his burial record. His obituary notes that he was the youngest [surviving] son of John Furmidge of Crabhayne Farm, Axmouth, and that his death left behind a wife and six children.
