Mary Jane Furnival 1874

[rawley]

Hi again, BTee!

I don't know if this helps you, but I looked for FRANCES by searching for any FURNIVAL born in 1874 +/- 2 years for all years on the entire UK census.  I found the following:

1891 census for Cheadle, Cheshire
FANNY FURNIVAL
age 16
born in Manchester
boarder
occupation: cotton winder

I could not find her anywhere on the 1901 census.  Then I checked FreeBMD and found a FRANCES FURNIVAL who married REUBEN BENNETT in Stockport (MAR 1901 8a, 124).  With that info, I found them on the 1901 census in Stockport, Cheshire.  They had a daughter, age 9 days, named GRACE!!!  Sounds right, doesn't it?  Of course, the only way to be sure is to send for the marriage cert to determine whether her father is JOHN FURNIVAL the printer.

Good luck,

BTee:

It's me again.  Here's an interesting tidbit for you to consider.

I found a GRACE EDWARDS (mistranscribed as GRAD EDWARD) on the 1851 census for Manchester, living at 15 Cock Gates in the Cathedral area.  She was enumerated as follows:  age 21, unmarried,  lodger, occupation winder for (illegible).  On the line below was JOHN EDWARDS, age 11 months.

What do you think?

If there is a connection, my rellies would obviously be distantly related.  But I did want to mention my side:
George Furnival, born 1826, Warrington, England.  Married in Manchester. Occupation (in Canada, after 1871): Printer and Stationer.  (My Furnival family arrived in Canada c1871.)  George was also a printer in Warrington.  I do not know anything about his business in England.

George had a brother, John and George's father was named John (born c1799).  I know the family originally had a tannery; I'm not sure who else might have been a printer.  George's mother was born in Cheshire.
