Notes

Samuel Furmidge (surname spelt “Fourmidge”) joined the Grenadier Guards in 1823 and served 10 years in Canada where he transferred to the Royal Canadian Rifles in 1841. He was discharged “worn-out” in 1848 and elected to remain at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. No further record can be found that can be specifically attributed to Samuel and so it is currently not known if he married, had children or when he died.
