  • Notes 
    • Thomas Furmidge was a miller by occupation. In 1812 he inherited a windmill, the grounds in which the windmill stood, as well as pasture grounds in Redmile from his grandfather Thomas Furmidge (Last Will & Testament of Thomas Furmidge of Redmile, Leicestershire, dated 18 April 1811). The 1832 Poll Book for Redmile (Framland hundred) records Thomas as owning freehold land called Mill Close. There are two possible entries for Thomas in the 1841 Poll Books, one at Redmile and one at Bottesford (both in Framland hundred). The Redmile entry is for a Thomas Furmidge owner / occupier of a house and land in Redmile. The Bottesford entry is for a Thomas Furmidge resident at Bottesford and holding freehold land named as “Hospital Land” (there are several individuals also listed as owning “Hospital Land”). The 1841 England census records Thomas Furmidge, born about 1781 in Leicestershire, “Independent” and living at the Men’s Hospital, Bottesford (Class: HO107, Piece: 587, Folio: 17, Page: 26). This may be Dr Fleming’s Hospital, Market Street, Bottesford. Based on the Poll Book entry and 1841 census it is unclear if Thomas was a patient at the hospital or if he was possibly one of several subscribers owning the hospital land. Thomas’ burial at Redmile notes that he was resident in Bottesford at the time of his death.
