James Bassett enrolled with the 4th (Queen’s Own) Hussars on 26 August 1895, aged 18 years and 6 months. He served until 29 Jun 1899 when he was discharged as medically unfit for further service. His next of kin is listed as his mother Catherine Bassett of Lisson Grove, Marylebone, Middlesex (The National Archives: WO 97 / 2266/122). In September 1914, he enrolled in the Royal Air Force and served in France; he was discharged in 1920. Once again his next of kin is listed as his mother, Catherine Bassett of Lisson Grove and not his wife, Amy Julia (The National Archives: AIR 79/1146). | BASSETT, James Richard Hyde (I1396)
|
| 403 |
James date of birth is recorded as 27 Dec 1915 in the 1939 Register and the GRO Death Index, whereas his entry in the baptism register records 27 Dec 1916. As his birth was registered in Jan-Mar 1917 it seems unlikely he was born in December 1915. | FURMEDGE, James (I249)
|
| 404 |
James enlisted in the Royal Tank Corps of the British Army on 13 March 1924 and served until 19 December 1945.

On the 28th April it was reported in several newspapers that he was dangerously ill in hospital in France having received gunshot wounds in his shoulder and right arm. He was at some point transferred to the Wharncliffe War Hospital in Sheffield, Yorkshire, where he died on the 9th July 1917 (Cleveland Standard published 28 April 1917, Page: 3; Tees-side Weekly Herald published 28 April 1917, Page: 5; Stockton Herald published 21st July 1917, Page: 6). | FURMIDGE, James William (I726)

James’ mother’s maiden name has been transcribed as Crombie in the GRO Birth Index but is written as Crummey in the baptism register. His surname could be read as Finmedge in his burial record. He died aged 8 days (his date of death has been calculated based on this information). | FURMEDGE, James (I444)
|
| 412 |
James’ parish baptism register entry records his date of birth as 25 April 1899 however various other sources (e.g. birth certificate, merchant navy records, 1939 Register and the GRO Death Index) record it as 24 April 1899. | FURMEDGE, James (I219)

James’ surname is recorded as Firmige in his baptism register entry. | FURMIDGE, James (I900)
|

Janet Belton is recorded in the 1939 Register, living with her parents. The married names of Furmage and Crabb have been annotated on her entry. In 1953 she married David C Lalieu and she is recorded as Janet Lalieu in a 1964 Electoral Roll for the same address as in the 1939 Register. Her parents are also at the same address as is Eric E Furmage (GRO Marriage Index entry for Janet Belton & David C Lalieu, Apr-Jun 1953, Sidcup, Kent, Vol: 5B, Page: 1337; London Electoral Register, 1964, Entry for 22, Burleigh Road, Falconwood, Bexley; digital image accessed on www.ancestry.co.uk; original data: London Archives, Reference: LCC/PER/B/2993). She married Eric E Furmage in 1964 and then re-married again in 1973 to Thomas V Crabb. | BELTON, Janet (I1884)
|
| 417 |
Jane’s parents have erroneously been recorded as Henry and Caroline Stockley in the baptism register. A written note has subsequently been added in the top margin of the register “I find by reference to the Marriage Register that the parents of this child in [entry] number 219 were named Henry and Caroline Furmage and not Stockley and were married Aug 7, 1843.”
In 1881, Jane appears to have married James Ozzard Stockley, her previous husband William Burgess having died earlier in the year. The marriage register entry, however, records her father as Joseph (not Henry) Furmage.
Jane continued to live at West Mills, Corfe Castle until her death in 1912. She is recorded as Jane Ozzard Stockley in both the GRO Death Index and parish burial register however whilst the former records her age (correctly) as 67 years old, the burial register records it as 57 years old. | FURMAGE, Jane (I1144)

Jessie sadly took her own life on 10th or 11th January. She had complained of feeling ill a few days prior but had otherwise appeared in good spirits to her relatives. Her death was reported in a number of local newspapers including the Middlesbrough Standard (published 15th January 1910). | FURMIDGE, Jessie (I724)

John and Annie’s marriage entry records John’s father as George Walker, a brass finisher and the witnesses as John Walker and Jennie White. Searching the Ireland census (1901 & 1911) for George Walker with an occupation including the word “brass” suggests that John’s parents were George and Margaret Walker living at 62, Church Street East, Victoria, County Down, Ireland in 1901; George is a brass finisher. There are several children present in the household but these don’t include John. Researching births to George and Margaret Walker (including those in the 1901 census) reveals that they had children from at least 1872 to 1894 and that Margaret’s maiden name was McDowell. One child was John McDowel [sic.] Walker born at 13 Spruce Street, Belfast on 05 Apr 1887.
Searching for John Walker, born in Belfast about 1887 in the 1901 Ireland census suggests that John was visiting his older sister Margaret Walker (9, Meeting House Street, Ballycross, County Down; household of James & Margaret Walker). Margaret’s husband James is recorded as a “painter”. Another brother, Andrew William Walker, and his wife are also recorded in the household. A similar search of the 1911 Ireland census suggests that John Walker is enumerated with his uncle and aunt, William and Sarah White at 14, Warren Road, Donaghadee, County Down. John is recorded as a “painter”. John’s mother Margaret, now a widow, is enumerated with her father, Robert McDowell, at 17, Warren Road, Donaghadee, County Down. | WALKER, John (I805)

John and Priscilla’s marriage has been identified from the parish marriage register (transcript only). There is no entry in the GRO Marriage Index for John Furmidge & Priscilla Wisher, however, there is an entry for John Freebridge & Priscilla Tusher in the same quarter and registration district as would be anticipated based on the parish marriage register entry. (GRO Marriage Index Reference: Apr-Jun 1899, District: Bingham, Nottinghamshire, Volume: 7B, Page: 939). | FURMIDGE, John (I450)

John Arthur Bentley is last recorded with his wife, Amelia Minnie, in the 1911 England census in which his occupation is recorded as fishmonger (Croft Villas, 4 Croft Road, Poole, Dorset: Class: RG14, Piece: 12270, Schedule: 162). He appears to be recorded at Sea View Road and later Hill Crest Road, Poole, Dorset from 1911 to 1914 (Dorset Electoral Rolls accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk).
A John A Bentley married Minnie Tilley in late 1914 (GRO Marriage Index: Q4 1914, Registration District: Preston, Lancashire, Volume: 8E, Page: 1011). They are recorded in the 1921 England census at 24, Hornby Road, Blackpool, Lancashire (Class: RG15, Piece: 20787, Schedule: 57). John Arthur Bentley’s age, place of birth and occupation are consistent with those of John Arthur Bently recorded in the 1911 England census above. Also recorded are Minnie Bentley, aged 45 years and Dorothy May Bentley, aged 6. All three are recorded as boarders or visitors (“visitor” appears to have been updated to “boarder” by the enumerator) and so it can only be assumed that Minnie was his wife and Dorothy his daughter. However, the birth certificate for Dorothy May Bentley, confirms that she was the daughter of John Arthur Bentley and Minnie Bentley, late Tilley, formerly Williamson (Reference: Dorothy M Bentley, Registered: Q2 1915, Registration District: Preston, Lancashire, Volume: 8E, Page: 961).
John Arthur and Minnie Bentley can be traced in the Lancashire Electoral Rolls living in Preston, Lancashire between 1918 and 1929 however in the 1930 Electoral Roll Minnie is recorded alone and in the 1939 Register she is recorded as a widow. (Electoral Rolls accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk; 1939 Register: 193, Lancaster Road, Preston, Lancashire, Class: RG101, Piece: 4581B). No death or burial record has been identified for John Arthur Bentley; it has been assumed he died in about 1930. Minnie Bentley died in 1969 (GRO Death Index: Minnie Bentley born 10 Jan 1876, death registered: Q2 1969, Registration District: Amounderness, Lancashire, Volume: 10B, Page: 176). | BENTLEY, John Arthur (I1189)

John Edward King joined the Royal Navy on 01 January 1929 and served until 12 July 1941 when he was taken as a prisoner of war. He was later awarded the British Empire Medal, “For his endurance and devotion to duty in handling a crowded lifeboat for 9 days in rough weather after his ship had been lost by enemy action in July 1941” (London Gazette, 16 July 1946; transcript accessed on www.findmypast.co.uk). He returned to service on 28 May 1945 until 21 November 1948. | KING, John Edward (I819)

John Furmidge is recorded as a police constable (“police officer”) in the 1871 England census; he appears to have enlisted sometime between 1861 and 1871 but the exact year is unknown (Class: RG10, Piece: 3227, Folio: 56, Page: 2). A report in the local newspaper records that he was awarded a police pension in 1895 (Leicester Chronicle published 09 November 1895, Page: 3 “Standing Joint Committee”). He retired as a “Merit Class” P.C. and was presented with a watch and chain by the county chief constable, “subscribed for by all ranks of the force as a mark of their regard and respect for their comrades” (Melton Mowbray Times published 24 January 1896, Page: 8 “Police Presentation”). | FURMIDGE, John (I699)

John Furmidge was residence at Crabhayne Farm, Musbury (near Axmouth) at the time of his death. His obituary reports that at his death “…the poor have lost a friend, and society an honest and upright man” (Western Times published 19 May 1838). The farm passed to John’s eldest son, also called John, who is enumerated there in the 1841 England census (Class: HO17, Piece: 200, Folio: 6, Page: 6). The Furmidge family must only have been resident at Crabhayne from 1824 at the earliest as before this Mr Thomas Newbury was the tenant as evidenced by a number of newspaper reports of the estate being auctioned (Taunton Courier and Western Advertiser, published 08 July and 15 July 1818; Sherborne Mercury published 12 April 1824). | FURMIDGE, John (I890)

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. | FURMIDGE, John Thomas (I569)
