« on: Friday 11 May 12 01:15 BST (UK) »
William Walter Roberts Fursman was my great grandfather dob 11/8/1863 son of Elizabeth born 1829 daughter of Joseph Fursman and Susannah Roberts (Rosina). Joseph was born in 1805 and died in 1871 and was married on 22/11/1827. Joseph was the son of Joseph Fursman and Sarah Moss who were married on 7/10/1802
My Aunt lives in Bridport and I think much of this information was gleaned from either tombstones or church or county records.
My sister has done much more research on our family and I have heard a story about one of our ancestors who went to live with an uncle(?) and got some girl pregnant but never married her and then later married someone else and gave the son of that marriage the same first name as the illegitimate son. Don't know if it is the same one as this William but might be.
