Notes

Mary Ann’s surname is recorded as Furmidge in the GRO Birth Index; her mother’s maiden name is recorded as Hayward. Mary Ann’s surname is recorded as Farmidge and her mother’s given name as “Mary Ann” in the Bishops’ Transcript of her baptism record.

Mary A Furmidge (and her son George E Furmidge) are boarders with the Dyer family in the 1871 England census; the household includes William J Dyer, a single man aged 25 (born about 1847, Ryde, Isle of Wight), French Polisher (South Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, Class: RG10, Piece: 1165, Folio: 123, Page: 32). By 1881, William J Dyer and Mary Ann are (allegedly) married with four children (12 Prince Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, Class: RG11, Piece: 1178, Folio: 114, Page: 23). The eldest child, Edward Dyer was born about 1867 suggesting that this is likely to be the George E Furmidge recorded in the 1871 census. The next eldest child was born in 1874. No marriage record has been located for William J and Mary Ann; it has been assumed that they married some time between the 1871 census (when both are recorded as single) and 1874 when the second eldest child was born. Of the four children born to William J and Mary A Dyer, the GRO Birth Index records Furmedge as the mother’s maiden-name for two (William Dyer, b. 1874 & Ellen Louisa Dyer, b. 1877) and Furmidge for two (Ernest Charles Dyer b. 1880 & George Dyer b. 1884).
