551 No entry in the GRO Birth Index can be found for a “Annice Gertrude Ellerby” however “Annice Gertrude” are her given names recorded on the GRO Marriage and Death Indexes and also in the 1911 England census (Class: RG14, Piece: 20840, Schedule: 189). In 1901, William Furmidge, a married man, is boarding with Henry & Sarah Ellerby in Town Street, Sandiacre, Derbyshire and it is assumed that these are Annice Gertrude’s parents (Class: RG13, Piece: 3208, Folio: 117, Page: 31). Annice Gertrude is recorded in the 1901 census as “Gertie Furmidge”, a married woman, and is enumerated with her grandparents, John and Mary A Seabrook, at 128, High Street, Whittington, Derbyshire (Class: RG13, Piece: 3253, Folio: 28, Page: 4). Review of earlier census records for Henry and Sarah Ellerby and their family suggest that Annice Gertrude is recorded as “Annie” or “Annie G”; it is noted that there is also a younger daughter, born about 1882, named “Ann E” [Ann Ellen] - it seems unlikely that both daughters would have been christened Ann or Annie. Review of the GRO Birth Index reveals an “Alice Gertrude Ellerby” registered in 1880 in the Shardlow, Derbyshire Registration District whose mother’s maiden name was Seabrook; the details on the birth certificate confirm the parents as Henry and Sarah Ellerby. ELLERBY, Annice Gertrude (I534)
 
552 No record for William Henry Furmidge has been found after 1911. He is enumerated in his uncle Henry William Furmidge’s household in the 1911 England census (6, Park Road, Ryde, Isle of Wight: Class: RG14, Piece: 5724, Schedule: 20). FURMIDGE, William Henry (I795)
 
553 No record has been identified for Mary after the 1891 Channel Islands census where she is a widow, living at 19, Dorset Street, St Helier, Jersey with her two daughters, Florence and Rose (Reference: Class: RG12, Piece: 4695, Folio: 157, Page: 9). In the 1901 census, her three children are enumerated in the household of their grandfather James Furmedge and his unwedded daughter, Alice (7, Dorset Street, St Helier, Jersey; Reference: Class: RG13, Piece: 5313, Folio: 119, Page: 6) and in the 1911 census her three children are enumerated in the household of their unwedded aunt Alice; they are all listed as Dressmakers (68, Great Union Road, St Helier, Jersey; Reference: Class: RG14, Piece: 34914, Schedule: 71). LENNON, Mary (I101)
 
554 No record of Amy Julia Furmage (or Amy Julia Bassett) has been found following her marriage in 1905 to James R. H. Bassett. In the 1911 England Census, James appears to be enumerated without his wife, although he is recorded as married (28 Macfarlane Road, Shepherd’s Bush, Hammersmith: Class: RG14, Piece: 218, Schedule: 427). It is unclear if Amy is for example visiting elsewhere or in hospital, or if the marriage had failed and Amy and her husband had separated since Amy has not been located in the 1911 England or Wales census nor has a death record been located for her. In his Royal Air Force record (1914-1920) James lists his mother, not his wife, as his next of kin (The National Archives: AIR 79/1146). FURMAGE, Amy Julia (I1351)
 
555 Norah was a divorcee at the time of her marriage to John Harry (otherwise Hal K) Furmage. She had previously married Arthur Edward Bonney in 1919. GROSSE, Norah Winifred (I1452)
 
556 Norman John Furmage was a Steward in the Merchant Services. He volunteered in 1915, serving on the S.S. “Carisbrooke Castle”, a hospital ship bringing troops home from the Western Front and later an Army Troop Ship in the Mediterranean. He was on board the S.S. “Warborough” when she was torpedoed and sunk off St Ives. (The National Roll of the Great War: Section IV, Southampton; The Wartime Memories Project, www.wartimememoriesproject.com). He appears to have continued to work as a Steward on various passenger ships, sailing between Bermuda or Buenos Aires and New York, until about 1939. In September 1938 he filed a “Declaration of Intention” of staying in the United States and in 1940 filed for naturalisation which was granted in May 1944.

Norman’s naturalisation documentation records his marriage to his first wife, Elizabeth Florence Maggs, on 20 April 1923, however the marriage was registered in the January-March quarter of that year, so he must have married a month or so earlier than this. It also records that his second marriage, to Florence McGlew, was on 19 June 1944, and there is an entry in the New Jersey Marriage Index to support this, however the Index to Marriage Licenses for New York records that the marriage occurred in Manhattan, New York, on 27 September 1941.

580 Phoebe and Walter appear to have separated in about 1929, from which point Phoebe is resident with her sister Elizabeth Furmidge ([1]. Electoral Rolls 1920 to 1931 for 9, Frodsham Street, Marfleet, Sculcoates, Yorkshire. [2]. 1939 Register entry for 177a Spring Bank, Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire: Class: RG101, Piece: 3138I; note Phoebe’s date of birth is recorded as 28 October 1885). Phoebe’s will names her sister, Elizabeth, as her sole beneficiary (Grant and will obtained from www.gov.uk). FURMIDGE, Phoebe Mary (I691)
 
581 Phoebe’s parents emigrated from England to America in about 1880 where they spent around 10 years living in various parts of the country before returning to England and settling in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire (“Golden Wedding of Stapleford Residents” in the Nottingham Journal, 4th January 1929, Page: 3). ORGAN, Phoebe (I541)

592 Rebecca’s surname is recorded as Furmage in the GRO Birth Index; her birth certificate records her parents as Daniel Furmage and Mary Davis (the informant is the mother, Mary Davis). Rebecca’s entry in the parish baptism register records her as Rebecca Furmage [Davis], the daughter of Mary Davis, spinster. Her name is recorded as Rebecca Elizabeth Davis in her parish marriage register entry and her father is recorded as “unknown”. FURMAGE, Rebecca Elizabeth (I1834)
 
593 Richard and Elizabeth’s marriage record provides a place of birth and parents’ names (including mother’s maiden name). Richard was born in Perranarworthal, Cornwall the son of John Millett, a miner, and Mary Dunstan. Richard’s entry in the GRO Birth Index as well as the 1851 and 1861 England Census for Perranarworthal, Cornwall indicate that the surname could be either Mellett or Millett (1851: Class: HO107, Piece: 1911, Folio: 23, Page: 2; 1861: Class: RG9, Piece: 564, Folio: 105, Page: 15). It is not clear when Richard travelled to Australia, except that it was sometime after 1861.

Richard and Elizabeth had four children, the youngest two were twins and died aged 3 and 11 weeks. This is the same year (1878) in which Elizabeth died suggesting that her death may have been related to the children’s birth. At this point the family had moved 375km from Durham Lead to Eldorado, Victoria, Australia. (Note: the Victoria Birth Index for the period concerned includes the name, including mother’s maiden name, of the parents allowing confidence that children born to a couple have been correctly identified).

The evidence for Richard’s death date and place is circumstantial as none of the sources cited provide details that confirm the correct Richard Millett has been identified, however, an accumulation of other information suggests that it is correct. Namely: (1) The newspaper notice for his funeral refers to him as Richard Millett “senior” suggesting there is a son of the same or a similar name; Richard and Elizabeth’s second eldest child was named Richard Charles. (2) There is evidence that the family lived in the areas of Kanowna, Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie in Western Australia (all of which are within 50-100km of each other): (a) It is possible that two of Richard and Elizabeth’s grandchildren by their eldest son (Albert John) were born in Western Australia; (b) Richard and Elizabeth’s son Richard Charles married in Coolgardie in 1898; (c) Their son Richard Charles had a son Charles Richard (b. 1899, d. 1900) who is buried at Kanowna (which is also the residence of the Richard Millett in the newspaper notice). 
MILLETT, Richard (I353)
 
594 Richard Furmedge was a widower at the time of his marriage to Mary Ann Lovelass. The marriage register records that he was resident near the Red Lion, Winfrith, Dorset and that his father was John Furmedge, Parish Clerk. Mary Ann was a spinster, resident at Newtown, Coombe Keynes, Dorset; her father was John Lovelass, Parish Clerk of Coombe. Witnesses were: John Lovelass, James Lovelass and Teresa Baker Lovelass.

The GRO Death Index record cited is for Richard Furmidge, age 67. The burial register records his age at death as 72. 
FURMEDGE, Richard (I292)
 
595 Richard Furmedge was an ordinary seaman aboard the S.S. Mardinian (Liverpool), a merchant ship, when he was “lost at sea through enemy action”. He is commemorated at the Tower Hill Memorial, Trinity Square Gardens, London, England. This memorial commemorates seamen, sailors and fishermen of the First and Second World Wars who have no known grave. FURMEDGE, Richard (I437)
 
596 Richard Furmidge joined the Royal Navy in November 1895 and served until May 1919. He served on the Royal Yacht (‘Victoria & Albert’) between July 1903 and Aug 1914. He was serving on HMS Agincourt during the Battle of Jutland (09 Mar 1916 to 07 Sep 1916). He completed his Royal Navy career as a Stoker Petty Officer II (The National Archives: ADM 188 / 449 / 281150). He probably died on 21 January 1960 due to complications following a fall (newspaper inquest report, unknown publication and date, transcript posted as a Private Member Story on www.ancestry.co.uk). FURMIDGE, Richard (I788)
 
597 Richard James Furmidge was a bus conductor and then driver for Beeston-based Barton Transport Ltd. In 1935 he was working as a bus conductor when both the bus company and Richard were in court accused of carrying more passengers than allowed by regulations. Richard had admitted the passengers onto the bus as an act of charity - it had been raining and the next bus was not expected for another hour. Both pleaded guilty and paid a fine. In 1940, Richard gave evidence at the trial of a lorry driver who had crashed into the rear of the bus in which Richard was working as a conductor. Then in 1942, now as a driver, Richard is again mentioned in the newspapers when his bus skidded on a greasy road surface causing two passengers to be injured, one of which later died. The reports noted relate to the inquest of the deceased passenger but do not mention if there were any consequences for Richard. However, the event does not appear to have significantly affected his career - on his death he is reported to have been a retired traffic superintendent.
Richard was also an active member of the Sandiacre Conservative Club, which he joined in 1946 and retired from in 1988. During that time he was the club secretary (1954-1976 & 1980-1988) and vice-president (1977-1979).

FURMIDGE, Richard James (I470)
 
598 Richard’s surname appears to have been recorded as Furmidge in the baptism register.

Richard did not marry. He died at the Dorset County Asylum which in 1899 was Herrison Hospital in Charminster, Dorset. He had been admitted there in February 1896, aged 46 years (Dorset History Centre, Herrison Hospital Archive, Pauper Order Papers, Reference: NG-HH/CMR/4/32G/4275).

600 Robert Daniel’s mother is recorded as Charlotte (not Noara / Norah) in his baptism register entry. The GRO Death Index records his age at death as 45 years [born: about 1829] whereas his age is recorded as 47 years [born: about 1827] in his parish burial register entry. FURMAGE, Robert Daniel (I1376)
